Tourism-Journalism: A New Paradigm

Abstract

Neither Tourism is free from journalism nor journalistic approaches are wide from tourism activities. We can combine both for a holy purpose. Simply a tourist can traverse a place, collects the facts and informations about the place and major installations but a journalist can analyze all those facts and informations and he can spread the veracity of the facts to all over world. Through Newspapers, Magazines, Online Blogs, Use of social media and Electronic media, he can popularise the place on its own modes and measures. A journalist can also evolve new places for tourism industry, Only he can energise the government and other responsible agencies to create the facilities and basic amenities for the tourists on a particular place. On other hand, a tourist can also play a vital role to extract the weak points and slackness of govt. On a place specific. Finally, a person, who has an eyes of reporter and the etiquettes of a tourist, he can explore the new dimensions of informations, which will be useful for the govt. and the upcoming tourists from different corners of the world.
