The COVID-19 pandemic has had a massive social and economic impact. Both developed and developing economies have been hit. The marginalized groups were the most vulnerable have been hit hardest of all. The restart of tourism will help kickstart recovery and growth. It is essential that the benefits this will bring are enjoyed widely and fairly.
The event series focused on including diverse topics to help brainstorm and indulge in constructive discussions about the travel industry and its current scenario. The activities ranged from having lively deliverables to quizzes on various topics encouraging the participants in being informed citizens.
The event series with all its activities focused on deliberating discussions on the travel and tourism industry. All events had their respective significance and they delivered useful perceptions based on the theme. We witnessed healthy participation amongst the students and their enthusiasm made the events even more lively.
Every event had its own charm, the audience was left enlightened by the information they received from the speakers. Great success comes with people who try to make it perfect. Teamwork and efforts were shown at its best and the event made a fortune!
The event series would not have been possible without the immense support shown by the faculty members, student volunteers, and all the core team members.
