Significance of National Tourism Day
National Tourism Day is observed to cultivate awareness about the importance of Tourism in India. Over a period India has attracted many tourists from across the globe for its unique tourism products like cultural, nature, heritage, rural, sports, historical, cruise, medical, and eco-tourism.
In 1958, the government realized the importance of Tourism in India and its prospects. This led to the creation of a separate department of tourism and a ministry. The solemn purpose of creating a separate department for tourism was to protect the national heritage while making them tourist-friendly destinations in the country. National Tourism Day observed in India helps boost tourism while creating awareness.
Every year, the 25th of January is celebrated as India’s National Tourism Day, an incredible way to spread awareness about the importance of traveling and protecting nature.
