The world celebrates September 27 as the World Tourism Day. Despite the tourism sector having faced an acute recession due to Covid over the last two years, one can now see almost all the sectors springing back into business, thereby re-energizing tourism in a big way, which is once again spreading its wings far and wide…
The tourism sector gives opportunities of employment to small and big business and to millions of 
people and stands to be one of the biggest foreign exchange earners for all economies of the world. Revenge Tourism, as some of the experts have coined this era will, now that we are at the threshold of the tourist season, see a great 
influx of tourists from abroad and will give an unprecedented fillip to the domestic tourism, conferences, conventions, meetings and exhibitions.
The Vatel Hotel & Tourism Business School commemorated this important day in a unique way, by dedicating itself towards conserving the environment by way of creating an EDIBLE GARDEN. Students of First Year, who have recently joined the BHM Programme, took a lot of interest in first understanding the significance of the tourism Day and in coming to terms with the importance of conservation of environment, that is to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. The saplings they planted were of Cuphea, Thai basil, chilly, coriander, carom, lemongrass, mint and guava. The end products of these plants will be used in the college kitchen practical classes and the students will also be induced to create their own mini garden for their own, domestic kitchens at home.
Dr. Sanjeev Sharma, Pro-Vice Chancellor and Registrar of Sushant University inaugurated the Edible Garden and Dr. Jyoti Sinha, hear of the School of Pharmacy, Sushant University planted a few saplings. “I am happy to see the interest our young generation has towards the fine art of tourism and the awareness that they are creating towards making our planet green, clean and unpolluted, which stands to be the need of the hour” said Dr. Sanjeev Sharma.
Ms. Chandana Paul & Ms. Aashiyan Assistant Professor of the college worked closely with the students to procure the saplings and helped them organize a small speech about the theme of the event and the expression of gratitude towards the University for providing an area, permanently earmarked for such, environment-oriented activities.
