Tourism is one of the World‘s largest and fastest growing industries. In terms of revenue and the number of people involved, it has become world‘s third industry after chemicals and fuel Industry. Tourism helps nations to earn a large sum of foreign exchange without exporting any tangible product. Besides, tourism provides employment to a large number of people directly and indirectly. Tourism is a multi-dimensional phenomenon that incorporates the Hotel and the Travel sector.

Every Sector of Tourism namely Tourism Attraction, Transport Sector, Accommodation Sector and Amenities in India are having a wonderful development. It also provides a great employment opportunity. Moreover, it is important for the professionals of both the Tourism sector and the Hotel sector to have appropriate knowledge in each other as both the sectors are inter-twined with each other.
