Introduction
Adapting to a rapidly changing tourism world is a challenge for everyone, but particularly for the people living in the Himalayan region where the changes and challenges are so intense and rapid that traditional adaptation mechanism is losing their efficacy. Himalayan resources of Uttarakhand provide bountiful opportunities for large swathe of tourists where the effects are multiplied on account of the involvement of various stakeholders.
It is expected that in the coming years tourism industry is going to experience plenty of changes with incredible pros and inevitable cons. Most tourist generating regions in Uttarakhand are experiencing mismanagement like situation. Huge investment in the infrastructure development, exceeding carrying capacity, climate change, population pressure, mushrooming growth of camping sites, hotel enterprises and accommodation units have put a lot of burden on the very sustainability of any region. Keeping in view the various probable consequences into consideration, the systematic application of science and technology has become significantly more relevant for the tourism industry to let it grow exponentially.
The urgent need for taking tourism to a higher trajectory in Uttarakhand, annual growth rate can be met only with scientific application and technological advancement. These applications must aim at efficient use of tourism resource and conservation of soil, water, ecology on a sustainable basis, and in a holistic framework. Such a holistic framework must incorporate the use of scientific and technological methods, so as to give a strong base for tourism industry. Therefore, it is very important to make a good use of science and technology by the different array of stakeholders in the filed of tourism and hospitality management.

About HNB Garhwal University (A Central University)
HNB Garhwal University is set up in the interiors of Garhwal Himalaya rather than in a large city, as it is the case with most of the Universities. The University is nestled in the lap of Himalayan ranges in the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand. It has a rare distinction of taking birth through a powerful popular movement during early seventies in lastcentury. Late Shri Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna played a vital role in its formation. This University was established in 1973, aims at imparting value-based education and developing scientific temper for the overall development of the region for the economic, social, educational, cultural and spiritual development of people. The University offers undergraduate and post graduate courses in humanities, commerce, basic science and assuring opportunities for the self employment for aspiring students. The University has started several independent professional/job oriented degree, diploma and certificate courses concomitant with graduation courses. In the last 31 years since its inception the University has evolved new dimensions of interface with the people of Garhwal and economic, social and cultural upliftment of the region. Srinagar town, the centre of HNB Garhwal University is situated on the left bank of river Alaknanda at an altitude of 579 m. It is also an important transit point on the yatra route for Badrinath, Kedarnath, Hemkund Sahib, Valley of Flowers, Auli and Khirsu hill station. The town is synonymous with key educational centres like NIT, Govt. medical college, Polytechnic apart from the centre of excellence, Garhwal University. Srinagar town is situated 105 km away from Rishikesh, 135km from Haridwar, 150 km from Dehradun and 300 kms from New Delhi.
Nearby excursions in the vicinity of the town are Dhari Devi, Devalgarh and Pauri town.
About CMTHS
Centre for Mountain Tourism and Hospitality Studies (CMTHS), a premier institute, is one of the oldest institutions offering various tourism and hospitality courses since 1976 in India.
In order to foster creative thinking, develop skills & personality, as well as instill a desire for life long learning among students, CMTHS is willing to disseminate quality education to the budding tourism and hospitality professionals with a formidable combination of theoretical and practical exposure. The students are said to be the proud products of any institutions which provides value-based education to them. In true sense CMTHS has diversified and has carved a more meaningful niche for itself in such a highly-volatile competitive world. Although a large number of students passed out every year in pursuit of a career in varied fields but shortage is generally felt in finding suitable hands by the v companies because of the dearth of the requisite qualities which must possessed by students.
