Since tourism studies consist of a variety of themes contributed by different disciplines like history, sociology, anthropology ,economics, management, marketing, Geography, environmental sciences, agriculture etc. It is logical to accept contributions from each and every disciplines and our attempt is to synthesise all within the ambit of tourism studies. The present course provides you with an understanding of the tourists and hosts in the beginning and switch over to a discussion on the role of the guides and escorts in tourism industry. This is followed by two different kinds of case studies, like, products and operations and promotional skills. At the end TS-2 course has included a few experiences of professional bodies involved directly or indirectly with tourism industry for long.
