No one has doubts that over the decades, tourism a key driver for socio-economic progress has experienced continued growth and deepening ‎diversification to become one of the fastest growing economic sectors in the world.

The business volume of tourism currently is said to equal or even surpasses that of oil exports, ‎food products or automobiles. The global spread of tourism in industrialized and developed states has produced ‎economic and employment benefits in many related sectors - from construction to telecommunications or agriculture.‎ The contribution of tourism to economic activity globally is estimated at some 5% while its contribution to employment is estimated in the order of 6-7% of the overall number of direct and indirect jobs.

Tourism not only represents one of the main income ‎sources for many developing countries but has undoubtedly become one of the major players in ‎international commerce. This growth goes hand in hand with increasing diversification and competition among destinations.‎

On this occasion, Mrs Reena Kanwar a veteran of tourism industry with nearly three decades of rich experience presently General Manager Corporate Marketing, India Tourism Development Corporation - ITDC New Delhi sent a message to the students of Shridhar University as follows: The theme of this year’s World Tourism Day, “Tourism — Linking Cultures”, highlights the powerful role of tourism in building international understanding and mutual respect. It is widely recognized that tourism has the potential to foster mutual respect and understanding among people from different backgrounds and cultures, as travellers learn to appreciate the value of tolerance and respect for diversity. There is no better way to learn about a new culture than to experience it first-hand. Tourism offers a wonderful connecting thread between visitor and host community. It promotes dialogue and interaction. Such contact between people of different backgrounds is the very foundation for tolerance. In a world struggling for peaceful coexistence, tourism can build bridges and contribute to peace. Tourism’s contributions to development also advances the cause of global solidarity. At a time of profound global economic uncertainty, tourism’s ability to generate socio-economic opportunities and help reduce the gap between rich and poor is more important than ever. World Tourism Day is an opportunity to reflect on the importance of tourism to global well-being. As we travel, let us engage with other cultures and celebrate human diversity. On this observance, let us recognize tourism as a force for a more tolerant, open and united world.

With students who have travelled from different parts of India enrolled at Shridhar University as well as in various other educational institutions, Pilani truly lives the 2011 World Tourism Day Theme “Linking Cultures” at its best.
