YUVA Tourism Clubs’

In News 
  • Ministry of Tourism has initiated establishing ‘YUVA Tourism Clubs’ as  part of the ‘Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav’ celebrations.
Vision- To nurture and develop young ambassadors of Indian tourism who would become aware of tourism possibilities in India, appreciate our rich cultural heritage and develop an interest and passion for tourism.

Yuva Tourism Clubs
  • These young ambassadors would be catalysts for promoting tourism in India.
  • Participation in Tourism Clubs is also expected to facilitate development of soft skills like teamwork, management, leadership besides encouraging adoption of responsible tourism practices and concern for sustainable tourism.
  • The Yuva Tourism clubs that are being set up in various schools will promote national integration and build on the Prime Minister's vision of Ek Bharat Shreshtha  Bharat. 
  • The tourism clubs help children to be more aware about their states and neighborhood along with the cultural aspects.
  • This further builds on the clarion call of Dekho Apna Desh by the Prime Minister.
Significance 
  • The young members of these clubs would gain exposure to the rich diversity of India, and its civilizational values, it would enhance their sense of belonging towards the nation.
  • On the other hand, as the youth become tourist ambassadors, India will become the favoured tourist destination of the world which will then have a cascading impact on our economy.
  • YUVA Tourism Clubs would also enable learners to appreciate the importance of travel and tourism, ignite a passion for tourism and its value in learners, sensitize learners to various elements of travel, encourage, teach and propagate responsible tourism practices, improve physical & mental health through exploratory, adventure and sports tourism and spread awareness about tourism opportunities at an early stage and encourage learners to be skilled professionals and entrepreneurs in the hospitality and tourism sector.
