What does World Tourism Day signify to you on a personal level?
World Tourism Day holds a special place in my heart as it serves as a poignant reminder of the tourism industry’s potential to enrich our world economically and culturally. It provides a platform for meaningful discussions on how we can harness the benefits of tourism while mitigating its adverse impacts.
Can you spotlight some distinctive and less-explored tourist destinations deserving of more recognition?
Armenia, Sandakphu Trek, Dzukou Valley, and the Everest Base Camp are gems waiting to be discovered by more travellers.
How has social media contributed to enhancing the overall tourist experience?
Social media has significantly improved the tourist experience in several ways:
- Facilitating trip planning and research
- Providing real-time updates
- Enabling travellers to share their experiences
- Offering a platform for feedback and reviews
Could you provide insights into responsible and ethical tourism practices that travellers should keep in mind?
To promote responsible and ethical tourism, travellers should:
- Conduct thorough research and plan responsibly
- Strive to reduce their environmental impact
- Minimise disturbance to wildlife
- Embrace the principles of reduce, reuse, and recycle
Share an emotional personal travel experience that has left a lasting impact on you.
In 2012, I embarked on a transformative journey to Himachal Pradesh, a trip that profoundly influenced my outlook on life and travel. As I arrived in the picturesque town of Manali, surrounded by majestic snow-capped peaks and lush green valleys, I was overcome with an inexplicable sense of wonder and amazement.
It was amidst those towering mountains that I discovered the joy of exploration, the thrill of adventure, and the incredible richness of diverse cultures. From that pivotal moment, I wholeheartedly embraced the life of a dedicated traveller.
