PROLOGUE
Indira Gandhi National Open University has prolonged its outreach beyond the borders of the country. The globalization of higher education, mainly via the distance mode of shipping, has given an altogether exceptional angle to the go-border transport of IGNOU’s academic packages in numerous international locations. The International Division seems after the international operations of the University. The Division established on 16 October, 1997 as a Cell and was upgraded to the fame of a full-fledged Division in 2002. From 1996 onwards, the International Division has been assigned the task of offering and promoting the academic programs of IGNOU by way of organizing bilateral and multilateral co-operations with numerous partner institutions and organizations/universities throughout the globe. At present, IGNOU is offering academic programs in 35 countries across the globe via 62 Partner Institutions.

In recent years, tourism has developed as an industry employing a large number of people. Numerous operational areas in tourism also offer immense opportunities for entrepreneurs to establish their businesses – big or small. Yet Tourism Studies as an academic discipline is not very well developed. Opportunities for its study are also limited. A large number of the workforce has had no formal study in various aspects of tourism.
