The theme for National Tourism Day 2022 is ‘Rural and Community Centric Tourism’.

The National Tourism Day is celebrated every year across the country on January 25 to appreciate India’s beauty and spread awareness about the importance of tourism and its impact on the economy.

• The ministry of tourism is observing National Tourism Day under the aegis of ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’, a 75-week grand celebration to mark 75 years of India’s independence. Various Programmes including cultural events, light and sound shows will also be organised at 75 major tourism centres and all tourist destinations across the country.
• The separate tourism department in India was created in 1958 by the then government to preserve the national heritage and to look after the tourist destinations for keeping their beauty intact.
