It also showcased the support and assistance that the Ministry of Tourism will provide to these clubs to ensure their successful implementation. The clubs aim to be more than just a platform for tourism exploration; they are expected to foster the development of essential soft skills, including teamwork, management, and leadership abilities. Additionally, the clubs will promote responsible tourism practices and encourage sustainable tourism initiatives to ensure a positive impact on both the environment and the communities involved.
Currently, almost 4000 plus Yuva Tourism Clubs have been established in Delhi NCR and 8000 plus Yuva Tourism Clubs have been established in the North Region under this programme.
