Conclusion and Suggestions. - PREFACE: “Tourism in Tamil Nadu - Growth and Development” is a captivating theme. Man has been fascinated by travel and tourism from the earliest historical period. He always has had the urge to discover the unknown, to explore new and strange places, to seek changes of environment and to undergo new experiences. Travelling to achieve these ends is not new, but tourism is of a relatively modern origin. Tourism is distinguishable by its mass character from the travel undertaken in the past. This is largely a post-second world war phenomenon. Until recently only affluent people participated in tourism. Increased leisure, higher incomes and greatly enhanced mobility have combined to enable more people to participate in Tourism. Revolution in transport, technological progress and the emergence of a middle class with time and money to spare for recreation, has led to the growth of tourism—”the modern holiday industry”. Thus tourism is no longer the prerogative of a few but is an accepted part of life of a large number of people. India is one of the oldest civilizations with a kaleidoscopic variety and rich cultural heritage. For centuries India has been a centre of attraction for different people for different reasons. The ancient invaders viewed it as a goldmine with unlimited wealth to plunder; the learned were fascinated by its mystic spiritualism and profound philosophy; the uninitiated saw it as a land of naked fakirs and snake charmers; while the others were simply charmed by the sheer beauty of its natural attractions and amazing variety of its flora and fauna.

Download or read book A Journey through the Jeevitha Nauka written by Haridasan T.M. and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2017-06-29 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Journey through the Jeevitha Nauka by Haridasan T.M., narrates his experiences in life and brings out the importance of the nature driven and man-made evolution of the generation gap and the consequent cultural variations in human life. These changes are essential for our development, and to make this development sustainable, humanity should be ready at different age levels to make self-generated reforms in their mindsets and lifestyles. The author attempts to reveal how he made his experiments to approach this goal. From non-electrified dwelling in a rural hamlet, his journey to his present day life in a modern apartment in a bustling city met many rough and smooth paths. The various roles in his life, as a child, a dutiful son, a loving husband and father, along with being an affectionate grandparent in the home front, and as a student, teacher, researcher, administrator, social reformer and scientific consultant in the professional front gave him an opportunity to become a humane human being and responsible citizen. His revelations, it is hoped, would generate a sense of a rededication in our youth for shaping a glowing harmonious society.
