Abstract:
|
This case study discusses the innovative Atithi Devo Bhavah (ADB) program initiated by the Ministry of Tourism (MoT) in India. This program was launched in 2005 with the objective of developing tourism in India as part of MoT's 'Incredible India!' campaign.
Though the 'Incredible India!' campaign was successful in increasing the number of tourists, the experience of tourists in India left much to be desired due to the inconvenience caused by various touts, guides, and tour operators.
The ADB program was targeted at various stakeholders such as taxi drivers, tourist guides, small tourist operators, and the general public.

This case study discusses the key components of the ADB program and the steps taken by the MoT to roll out the ADB program. The case study also covers the mass media social awareness campaigns that were initiated by the MoT as part of the ADB program.
