IIM Sirmaur set to host Tourism Industry leaders on National Tourism Day

Indian Institute of Management Sirmaur (IIM) will celebrate the National Tourism Day on January
25, 2024. As the only IIM to have a dedicated two-year MBA in Tourism Management, IIM Sirmaur
had formed an Industry Advisory Board to exchange ideas between the faculty
of IIM Sirmaur and the industry stalwarts. The board comprises leaders of the travel and tourism
industry, including founders, senior professionals, and experts of companies like, AirIndia, IndiGo,
Cordelia, Thomas Cook, EaseMyTrip, Travclan, and many more. This meeting, the second of its kind,
would include activities like course development, industry readiness, and a series of guest lectures.
The event will also comprise a case competition by Indigo. The competition puts students’ critical
thinking and problem-solving skills to the test. A mentorship workshop is also planned providing
students a unique opportunity to interact directly with the board members. Students can seek
guidance and career advice through this workshop through personalized mentorship sessions.
The day would conclude with a cultural event celebrating Himachal Day, which also happens to be on
25th January. It would feature a performance of the traditional Nati dance of Himachal Pradesh.
The event aims to co-think the future of the travel and tourism academia and industry while
celebrating the rich culture and heritage of Himachal Pradesh, contributing to the state’s increased
visibility on the global stage. The institute remains committed to excellence in tourism education,
preparing future leaders to shape the industry’s sustainable and thriving future.
