Certificate in Tourism Studies

IGNOU took the initiative of launching programmes in Hospitality and Hotel Administration, based on collaboration with the National Council for Hotel Management and Catering Technology (NCHMCT), under Ministry of Tourism, Government of India. This collaborative model is the first of its kind between the open learning and conventional system of education.
IGNOU was the first Open University in the world to launch Tourism Studies programmes which were based on a modular approach. These programmes were conceptualized, developed and launched by the Faculty of History in the School of Social Sciences.

This programme helps in awareness in tourism and basic skills for jobs in the sector.
