CONVENTUS-2021: CELEBRATING WORLD TOURISM DAY
Introduction and Objectives of the Event:
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a massive social and economic impact. Both developed and developing economies have been hit. The marginalized groups and the most vulnerable have been hit hardest of all. The restart of tourism will help kick start recovery and growth. It is essential that the benefits of bouncing back for tourism should be enjoyed widely and fairly. UNWTO has therefore designated World Tourism Day 2021 as a day to focus on Tourism for Inclusive Growth. This is an opportunity to look beyond tourism statistics and acknowledge that, behind every number, there is a person.
World Tourism Day, celebrated each year on 27th September, is the global observance day fostering awareness of tourism’s social, cultural, political and economic value and the contribution that the sector can make towards reaching the Sustainable Development Goals.
The intention of this National Level Event Celebration is to provide a platform to practice, develop and present the skills that students across India possess, also to get student involved in this learning and thought process and have discussions on the current theme of World Tourism Day. Also it will help to generate and develop new ideas perspectives in the core and allied area.
