The World Tourism Day is celebrated to foster awareness on the socio-economic and cultural impact of tourism. It seeks to highlight the tourism’s potential to contribute to reaching the Sustainable Development Goals.
The theme for 2016 is ‘Tourism for All – Promoting Universal Accessibility’. Accessible tourism is about the creation of environments that can cater to the needs of all of us, whether we are travelling or staying at home.
Among the contenders will be classified hotels, approved travel agents, tour operators, writers, educational institutions and others, who will be awarded to acknowledge their performance in their respective fields and also to encourage healthy competition to promote tourism.
“Andhra Pradesh has in the last two years seen tourists in large numbers and to keep the ever increasing travellers engaged and also the various service providers the awards have been announced. This will motivate the entire tourism fraternity and will also bring new operators in various categories,” said R P Khajuria, Commissioner, Department of Tourism.
The awards will be given to all the segments of the industry recognised either by the Central Government or State Government, travel agents, tour operators, classified hotels including heritage hotels, restaurants and independent hotels.
