Heritage tourism is attracting travelers like never before!

Wednesday, June 19, 2019

Heritage is what an individual or the society transfers successfully from the past to present generations as memories. Travellers over the years have showed their keenness in interpreting the heritage component, spread over geographies, cutting cultures, religions etc. across the globe. Heritage tourism is moving fast, with the novice and seasoned travellers showing interest in unravelling the past, trying to learn from history in terms of experiential learning.

European travellers in Heritage tourism are inheriting from the past and passing it over to generations, as an added learning. This phenomenon is fast catching up in Asia, particularly in India, with a rich history, the main source of heritage tourism. It’s time that the tourism industry in India capitalizes on it like other economies. India has heritage in abundance and it should not miss the bus. Entrepreneurs must see an opportunity tap all possibilities and capitalize on the same.

Globally, major heritage tourism attractions, be it eastern, central or western Europe, South East Asia, Japan etc. including India are important assets that depict the character of the community.
