International Seminar on Heritage Tourism: Prospects & Challenges

The Department of History of our college is organising an International seminar on “Heritage Tourism : Prospects and Challenges” on Sep 1-2, 2010 for which papers are invited from the teaching faculty, researchers, students and above all experts in the field.

Heritage and culture are deeply rooted in the distant past, wherein lies the national identity of an individual. The constitution of India calls upon its citizens to protect their heritage by art. 51 A which makes it a fundamental duty to do so. Development at any scale can not obliterate the desire of any society to overlook their past or forget their cultural identity and richness of heritage. Thus, culture and heritage of a place have long been known to contribute to its appeal as a tourist destination.
The Seminar has four sections for which contributions are invited.
