Introduction
During the past decades, Indian tourism has experienced continuous growth and ever deeper diversification to become the fastest growing economic sector in India. Tourism has become a thriving global industry with the power to shape developing countries. Today, tourism has become the fifth largest industry in the world economy. Its benefits and challenges sharply observed by government influence the economic, sociological-cultural, environmental and educational resources of nations. The positive effect of hospitality and tourism on a country’s economy includes the growth and development of various industries directly linked to a healthy tourism industry, such as transportation, lodging, wildlife, arts, and entertainment. There are ample opportunities available for graduates in hotel management with their demand both in India and abroad. This increased the demand and led several good universities in India to offer short and long term degree courses in Hotel Management.
