Executive Summary
Tourism is an important catalyst in the socio-economic development in the modern times, contributing in multiple ways and strengthen the inter-connected processes. While often portrayed as panacea for many evils such as underdevelopment, unemployment, poverty eradication, social discrimination and so on; its contribution in creating a global and regional socio-political environment for peaceful co-existence of the cultures and societies has been equally established at various levels. Perhaps, this realisation took many advocators to position tourism as one of the biggest ‘peace industries’, a means to strike equilibrium of global peace process though development. Because, tourism practiced in responsible and sustainable manner bring about the peace and prosperity of the people and that its stakeholders share benefits in fair manner, which is a necessary condition for the equilibrium of sharing to sustain.
Due appreciation of such key role of tourism in development and global solidarity is forthcoming in recent years. The U.N systems have been well on record about the growing significance of tourism, which can be traced back to the 1980s. The latest being the candid endorsement of U.N Secretary General who went on to state as precursor to his World Tourism Day 2011 message: “tourism’s ability to generate socio-economic opportunities and help reducing the gap between rich and poor is more important than ever”. This statement acquires significance in the face of the economic crisis in recent times. Hence, any formulation on tourism and its role in the society and economy must be rooted in due cognizance to the contribution of tourism in the development process and according its rightful place and position in the economic planning and programming.
Introduction to the Industry
Travel and tourism is the largest service industry globally in terms of gross revenue and foreign exchange earnings. It is also one of the largest employment generators in the world. It has been a major social phenomenon and is driven by social, religious, recreational, knowledge seeking and business interests and motivated by the human urge for new experience, adventure, education, and entertainment. Tourism is both cause and consequence of economic development. It has the potential to stimulate other sectors in the economy owing to cross-synergistic benefits and its backward and forward linkages.
India’s Tourism Policy (2002) has accorded great importance for tourism product development and diversification to increase the numbers of domestic and international tourists. It goes without saying that India’s ancient civilization, cultural diversity, unmatched heritage sites and other cultural manifestations have allured the tourists through ages and would continue to be its prime USP. But, the tourist motivation and purpose of holidaying are undergoing fast changes and that makes it imperative to create new tourism product offerings to satisfy the new tourist class. The environmental consciousness among a large section of travellers, many are even transforming it as their lifestyle preferences, pose both opportunities and challenges to create environment-friendly products and practices. They are also strongly inclined for such tourism practices optimally contributing to local economy and therefore travel trends can no longer be taken as fads.
To address fast changing tourist consumer preferences, India is also in the race for creating and re-creating diverse tourist attraction portfolios but that understandably should position around its core competence of cultural endowments. The continental characteristics as being manifested in the diverse geography, culture, people and way of living would enable India‘s endeavours much easier to position it as one of the most vibrant tourism destinations globally. Some of the latest tourism product development initiatives being pursued in this direction have been listed below to have a perspective of the country’s diversity and potential.

Coclusion
Recruitment is of the most crucial roles of the human resource professionals. The level of performance of and organisation depends on the effectiveness of its recruitment function. Organisations have developed and follow recruitment strategies to hire the best talent for their organisation and to utilize their resources optimally. A successful recruitment strategy should be well planned and practical to attract more and good talent to apply in the organisation.
When HR planning indicates the need for additional labor, organizations have a number of choices to make.
Go Heritage India Journeys mostly uses the advertisement media through internet for recruiting its employees.This may be the first step in a full-scale recruitment and selection process, but sometimes hiring additional employees is not the best method to obtain additional labor. It may be appropriate for an organization to consider alternatives to recruiting, such as outsourcing or contingent labor, instead of hiring regular employees. If this is a temporary fluctuation in work volume, the simplest solution may be part-time labor or overtime by existing employees. The costs of recruitment and selection can be staggering; hiring new employees should occur only after careful consideration and only when the organization anticipates a long-term need for additional labor. Estimates on the cost to replace supervisory, technical and management employees run from 50 percent to several hundred percent of employee salaries.
