Setting up of Gurukuls under Rural Tourism Scheme

Development and promotion of tourism is primarily undertaken by State Governments/UT Administrations. However, under its Rural Tourism Scheme, Ministry of Tourism provides Central Financial Assistance (CFA) to them for activities involving development of rural tourism including propagation of the Gurukul process.

This information was given by the Minister of State of Tourism, Shri Sultan Ahmed in a written reply in Lok Sabha today.

Ana Chavarria, front office manager Case Study

Ana Chavarria, front office manager, has been with The Times Hotel for several years. She recalls her first few months as a time of great stress. There was Milo Diaz, personnel manager, who was always calling her to post her schedules on time and authorize payroll forms.

Roughly 750 Ma (million years ago), the earliest-known supercontinent Rodinia , began to break apart. The continents later recombined to form Pannotia , 600–540 Ma, then finally Pangaea which is “All Earth” in Greek. Then about 200 million years ago the land began to drift apart. It broke into two pieces, · Laurasia – the northern supercontinent- splits in Eurasia and North America · Gondwanaland - the southern supercontinent which consisted § Antarctica, § South America § Africa § India and § Australia. The two large continents continued to break apart into the smaller continents that exist today. Eduard Suess, an Austrian geologist named it ‘Gondwanaland’. The nam

In his 1980 article, Butler proposed a widely-accepted model of the lifecycle of a tourist destination. This is a journey of the destination from beginning to a possible end. This is applicable to almost every destination however stages may reach late or early in Life. This would help policy makers to develop right strategies to develop a destination and make it sustainable. At every stage the tourists profile, their category also changes.
