Every year, India celebrates National Tourism Day on 25th of January.
The day is dedicated to raise awareness and promote tourism for the economic and financial growth and development of the country.
In 1948, India set up its first ever Tourist Traffic Committee to promote tourism for the economic and financial well-being of the country.
In 1958, India created its tourism department under the Ministry of Transport and Communication. This department has been headed by the Deputy General in the rank of Joint Secretary.
