Tourism serves as the promoter of national and international goodwill among
communities of a country and among nationalities of various countries. Indian
tourism is in the revival mode. The tourism industry is a service industry
with work opportunities in both the public and private sectors. Department of
tourism of the Central Government and state governments formulates policies,
select and develop centres of tourist attraction and provide travel and
transport facilities to tourists both from abroad and within the country.

of qualification leads to jobs in travel agencies as well as in government
departments airlines and hotels but does not offer prospects for much growth and
promotion in the industry
