  • 24th January
  • 25th January

Answer- B
1)January 25 has been designated as National Tourism Day by the Indian government to promote the significance of tourism for the nation's economy.

2)The day aims to educate the global community about the social, political, financial, and cultural value of tourism. The Ministry of Tourism serves as the nodal agency in India to develop national policies for tourism promotion and growth. It collaborates with central and state agencies as well as the public sector.

3)While the terms tourism and travel are sometimes used interchangeably, they have different meanings. Travel typically refers to the movement of individuals or groups from one location to another for reasons such as work, health, education, or to visit family. Tourism, on the other hand, refers specifically to the movement of people for recreational purposes.
