The tourism sector will generate an additional 2.5 crore jobs, both direct and indirect, during the 12th Five year Plan, Tourism Minister Subodh Kant Sahai said Wednesday.
According to the minister, the hospitality industry needs about 200,000 trained people every year but the supply was just about 18,000, which gets reduced to about 12,000 after adjusting an attrition of 30-35 percent.
"By the close of the 12th Plan, our efforts to expand the institutional infrastructure and broad-basing of hospitality education through universities, colleges, polytechnics and schools is expected to increase the supply of trained persons in a major way," Sahai said while presenting National Awards for excellence in hospitality education for 2010-11.
He added that direct employment in the hospitality sector will also be substantial and employment related to hospitality trades alone would be around 36 lakh.

2.5 crore jobs

Its a fact that the tourism sector has the potential to boom and the government must look into the development of the same since till date only unplanned development has been happening, but in spite of knowing this fact the government is turning a blind eye towards potential progressive areas and towards travel agents too. They are being deprived of their livelihood and labour by the airlines by denying them commissions for the work they do and yet the DGCA has given them a free hand to hike fares as and when they wish pushing the customer to pay at the airlines gunpoint. There is no competition in Indian market - the airlines are all in one big cartel who flece customers and the government turns a blind eye towards them. The creation of jobs will be done by private sector and sorry to say not by the gornment sector.
