The contribution of tourism in India’s economic growth is significant. The increased demand over Indian tourist destinations is correlated with footfalls. In the age of globalization and digitization, the communication strategy and management are an inevitable component of any media mix. Tourism is regarded as a force for world peace (Pernecky, 2010). Building mutual understanding and empathy is also part of the geopolitical matrix. From a soft power perspective, the tourist is a geopolitical subject and object (CS Ooi, 2014). How often tourism is related to empathy and interest towards a destination, which is created by carefully designed messages by media managers and stakeholders.
The current conference focuses on the interdisciplinary areas of tourism and communication with a focus on theoretical and empirical pieces of evidence from academicians, practitioners, policy makers, and research students.
