President Ajay Prakash while elaborating on the theme said, “As we seek recovery post-COVID, it is vital that the tourism industry does not forget the lessons of the Pandemic. As one of the biggest global industries, the power of tourism to shape the world is phenomenal. It can be a powerful force for doing good, not only for the stakeholders but for the entire world. ‘Build Back Better’ encapsulates the resolve to rebuild tourism in a more responsible and sustainable manner.”
