Tourism is the second largest industry in the world, by means of its contribution to world GDP. It provides various job opportunities both directly and indirectly. Tourism in Kerala is going through a significant phase of growth and is considered as the major driver to the economic growth of the state. It is a multi-sector industry which provides both direct and indirect employment opportunities to people. As Kerala is a state blessed with natural resources like hill stations, beaches, waterfalls, forests etc., there is immense scope for development of tourism. The Department of Tourism, with the objective of launching a massive awareness campaign among the youth of Kerala decided to set up Tourism club across colleges and schools in the state.
The Tourism Club of our college is formed with an objective of creating awareness among the students about Tourism activities and to incorporate the student’s strength and potential in the development of tourism in our State also to make them responsible travelers. The activities of club always follow green protocol. Tourism club of our college is a place for anyone who loves to travel, explore and built their curiosity; a platform to share their travel stories.
The tourism club was set up in our college in the year to create proper awareness about tourism among the youth and to promote Kerala tourism. The club has members from various departments. Various meetings and discussions were held on promotion of eco-tourism. The club members have decided to minimize the use of plastics in the campus and keep the campus clean and green. Tourism club is effectively functioning in the college and the club conducts seminars and talks on the relevance of Tourism in Kerala.
