The initiative is designed to foster responsible tourism and create local ambassadors who will serve as guides and hosts, enriching the travel experience for visitors while promoting <keyword id="20467200" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="sustainable-tourism" source="keywords">sustainable tourism</keyword> practices. The program, which was launched as part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s broader vision of using tourism for social inclusion, employment generation, and economic progress, is aimed at empowering locals in some of India’s most visited destinations. The Ministry of Tourism is seeking to build a network of <keyword id="22391259" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="tourism-ambassadors" source="keywords">tourism ambassadors</keyword>, rooted within <keyword id="21350228" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="local-communities" source="keywords">local communities</keyword>, to act as proud custodians of their regions. Initially piloted in six diverse tourist hotspots — Orchha (Madhya Pradesh), Gandikota (Andhra Pradesh), Bodh Gaya (Bihar), Aizawl (Mizoram), Jodhpur (Rajasthan), and Sri Vijaya Puram (Andaman &amp; Nicobar Islands) — the program has already begun training locals in these areas. By August 15, over 3,000 individuals had undergone training, becoming official Paryatan Mitras, dedicated to offering tourists a more informed, friendly, and memorable experience. <h2>Enhancing hospitality and local storytelling</h2>The key objective of this initiative is to make tourism a vehicle for local pride and storytelling. By offering specialised training to those who frequently interact with tourists — such as cab drivers, hotel staff, restaurant workers, tour guides, street vendors, and even police personnel — the Ministry hopes to elevate the tourist experience to new heights. The training program emphasises the importance of cleanliness, safety, sustainability, and top-quality hospitality, all aligned with India’s age-old philosophy of 'Athithi Devo Bhava', meaning “The guest is equivalent to God.” This initiative goes beyond mere hospitality training. Each participant is also educated about their destination's hidden gems, historical significance, and <keyword id="19911712" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="cultural-heritage" source="keywords">cultural heritage</keyword>, turning every local into a knowledgeable storyteller. This not only improves the quality of the tourist experience but also helps locals take pride in their heritage and contribute meaningfully to the country’s tourism ecosystem. <h2><keyword id="20646064" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="empowering-women" source="keywords">Empowering women</keyword> and youth</h2>One of the most remarkable aspects of the Paryatan Mitra and Paryatan Didi programs is their focus on empowering women and young people. By training them to offer new tourism experiences such as heritage walks, food tours, craft experiences, and nature treks, the initiative opens up exciting employment opportunities. Many of these individuals are also trained to become homestay operators, tour guides, and food and culture experience providers, allowing them to monetize their skills and knowledge in tourism-driven local economies. In a nod to modern technology, the initiative also incorporates <keyword id="20055241" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="digital-literacy" source="keywords">digital literacy</keyword> training, equipping locals with the tools to make their tourism offerings more discoverable to both national and international visitors. By leveraging digital platforms, trained individuals can now market their homestays, tours, and cultural experiences online, allowing for a broader reach and better economic opportunities. At its core, this program reflects the Ministry of Tourism’s commitment to creating a collaborative tourism experience that benefits both visitors and locals. The initiative is not just about training individuals to work in tourism but is also about fostering a sense of community and ownership over the tourism experience, which in turn helps preserve cultural and natural heritage. As more individuals join the program, tourism in India could see a shift toward more sustainable practices, with local communities playing a crucial role in shaping how tourists experience their destinations. By connecting visitors to trained locals with a passion for their culture and environment, the Ministry of Tourism is taking a major step toward creating memorable, responsible, and sustainable tourism across the country.

The mound-burial system of the Ahom dynasty in Assam -- '<keyword id="22553829" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Moidams" source="keywords">Moidams</keyword>' -- was, on July 26, inscribed on the UNESCO <keyword id="22552065" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="world-heritage-list" source="keywords">World Heritage List</keyword>, making it the first <keyword id="22477662" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="cultural-property" source="keywords">cultural property</keyword> from the Northeast to get the coveted tag. 'Moidams' was submitted as India's nomination for inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage List for the year 2023-24. The site was put in the Tentative List of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 2014. In a written response to a query in Lok Sabha, Union Culture Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat said, "There are 57 properties in the Tentative List for further inclusion in the World Heritage List. However, as per the Operational Guidelines 2023, only one property can be submitted for the World Heritage inscription process each year. As of now, 42 properties have been inscribed on the World Heritage List." The updated list for India, after the inclusion of centuries-old 'Moidams', is now 43 sites on the World Heritage List and 56 properties on the Tentative List, according to the website of UNESCO, which adds that out of the 195 States Parties to the <keyword id="22589969" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="World-Heritage-Convention" source="keywords">World Heritage Convention</keyword>, 189 have submitted a Tentative List.

"No, sir, there is no such scheme formulated for the protection of cultural heritage in compliance with the guidelines of UNESCO.

In response to another query, he said the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) takes up conservation and maintenance work of protected monuments and sites throughout the country, including 286 in the state of Maharashtra. "Conservation and maintenance of monuments and archaeological sites is a continuous process and is taken up as per the need of monuments and availability of resources," the minister said. Shekhawat, in his response, also shared details of expenditure incurred on conservation, preservation and environmental development of protected monuments during the last three years and till July 15 of the current financial year. The figures stand as follows -- Rs 269.57 crore (2021-22), Rs 391.93 crore (2022-23), and Rs 443.53 crore (2023-24), while it was Rs 73.36 crore (2024-25) till July 15 of the current financial year.

To call <keyword id="19895061" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Goa" source="keywords">Goa</keyword> beautiful would be the grossest of understatements. Its nearly untamed greenery, expansive beaches and vibrant, stately buildings are a sight for sore eyes. And tourists can hardly resist the allure of photographing or getting photographed against the backdrop of colonial-era architecture. But how do Goa’s <keyword id="19907251" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="residents" source="keywords">residents</keyword> feel about the constant barrage of camera shutters going off around them? <h2>Fed up of being the backdrop</h2>North Goan headquarters <keyword id="20144307" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Panjim" source="keywords">Panjim</keyword> is a bustling hub of activity, its “Latin Quarter” a particular favourite for tourists looking to take in São Tomé and Fontainhas. It’s pretty commonplace to see people posing in front of these lanes to get that perfect Instagram shot. Sadly, this relentless influx of visitors has transformed the once peaceful neighbourhood into a noisy and intrusive environment for its residents. In recent times, many Goan residents have started to keep their doors and windows tightly shut, trying to shield themselves from the noise and constant disruptions. A walk around Panjim would reveal a number of residential buildings sporting a “No Photography/Videography” sign, but these are often ignored by tourists who brazenly pose next to them. The blatant disregard for the residents' privacy by some tourists has led to frequent confrontations, leaving locals frustrated and fed up. If it were just one or two tourists coming once every month and photographing your house, you would feel happy to let them. But when hundreds come every single day, it becomes a nuisance, rues a Panjim resident. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="111809476" title="Why is a music festival causing controversy in Goa?" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div><h2><keyword id="22861081" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="invasive-tourism" source="keywords">Invasive tourism</keyword> </h2>The situation has escalated to the point where the charm of living in these historic neighbourhoods is overshadowed by the daily challenges posed by “invasive <keyword id="19997361" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="tourism" source="keywords">tourism</keyword>”, a term often used to characterise the negative impacts of mass tourism on local communities and ecosystems. It often involves large numbers of tourists who visit destinations without respecting local customs, cultures, or environments. While concerns around the erosion of traditional ways of life have been long-standing among the Goans, fears of a growing threat to their privacy are also coming to the forefront now. Residents report that photographers often instruct their clients to block traffic for the sake of a shot, while others casually walk into private homes, uninvited. The heritage of São Tomé and Fontainhas is rich and deeply rooted in history, but for many tourists, the area is merely a backdrop for their social media feeds. This disregard for the cultural and historical significance of the neighbourhood is also a source of ongoing resentment among the locals. As the tourism boom shows no signs of slowing down across Goa, the residents of Panjim's Latin Quarter are left grappling with the consequences. While tourism brings economic benefits, it also poses a threat to the integrity and peace of these historic neighbourhoods. For the residents, the need for a balance between welcoming visitors and preserving their way of life has never been more urgent. Tourists must endeavour to be more responsible and empathetic during their travels as well. Maybe then, Goa will continue to remain the haven for the weary that it is and not turn into a hostile territory that dislikes tourists. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="109950935" title="Goa remains top, spiritual tourism remains hot, premium accommodations grow fast — MMT’s summer travel trends for 2024" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div>

The World Heritage Committee is one of the two bodies governing the Convention for the Protection of the World's Cultural and Natural Heritage. It is composed of the representatives of 21 states, elected from the 195 states parties to the Convention. In the ongoing session, from July 23 to July 25, the Committee will examine the state of conservation of the 124 sites already inscribed on the World Heritage List, 57 of which are also on the List of World Heritage in Danger. Similarly, from July 26 to July 29, the Committee will examine the dossiers of 27 sites proposed for inscription on the World Heritage List. The sites will be examined according to three categories. The three categories are natural, mixed, and cultural. Reacting to the news Assam Chief Minister Himmant Biswa Sharma said, "The Moidams make it to the UNESCO World Heritage list under the category Cultural Property. A great win for Assam. Thank You Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji, members of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee and the people of Assam." "The Moidams of <keyword id="21130638" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Charaideo" source="keywords">Charaideo</keyword> embody the deep spiritual belief, rich civilisational heritage and architectural prowess of Assam's Tai-Ahom community.

"It is the first time a site from the North East has made it to the UNESCO World Heritage List under the Cultural Category. After Kaziranga and Manas National Parks, it is Assam's 3rd World Heritage Site. I urge all of you to come and experience Awesome Assam," he further said. The Moidams are the burial mounds of the <keyword id="22558033" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Ahom-kings" source="keywords">Ahom kings</keyword>, queens and nobles. The word Moidam is derived from the Tai word Phrang-Mai-Dam or Mai-Tam. Phrang-Mai means to put into the grave or to bury and Dam means the spirit of the dead. Though Moidams are found in all the districts of upper Assam, Charaideo, the first capital of the Ahoms was the necropolis of almost all the Ahom Royals. Charaideo is situated 28 km east of Sivasagar. The first king of the Ahoms Chau-lung Siu-ka-pha was buried at Charaideo after his death observing all the Tai-Ahom religious rites and rituals.

"Barriers related to clothing, origin, age, mindset, language, gender, sexual orientation, and income tend to fade away."<h2>Berlin today</h2><div type="image" title="New buildings stand behind a surviving section of the Berlin Wall with graffiti on March 27, 2024 in Berlin, Germany." height="1334" width="2000" msid="109666277" hostid="261" sizebytes="249298"></div>While the core of these ideas remains, gentrification and rising rents have taken their toll on the city's creative power.Berliners enjoyed cheap rents following the fall of the Wall, as the city's population growth did not meet officials' expectations, and a housing surplus persisted for many years.However, that trend has reversed in recent years, with Berlin registering 3.87 million residents in June 2023, according to the <a target="_blank" class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.berlin.de/en/news/8425887-5559700-statistics-berlins-population-continues-.en.html">city's official website</a>. That was up from around 3.6 million at the end of 2018.As demand for property increased, rents in the capital soared, with the seven years to 2023 seeing a 44% rise in prices — and only a 30% rise in the average wage, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/berlins-renters-face-more-misery-housing-crisis-deepens-2023-11-16/">Reuters</a> previously reported, citing federal and local data.The increased demand has also brought inevitable pressure from real estate investors, which, alongside the high rental costs, has led to the closure of several beloved venues, such as Griessmuehle and Farbfernseher.The problems facing clubs are so severe that Germans even have a word for it — "Clubsterben" — meaning "club death."The techno scene's addition to the UNESCO cultural heritage list will hence come as a welcome boost to those fighting to preserve the city's clubbing heritage, helping venues access additional government funding and protection under planning laws.Lutz Leichsenring, a board member at the Clubcommission, told BI that the recognition was a "milestone for Berlin techno producers, artists, club operators and event organizers.""Our gratitude goes in particular to bands like Kraftwerk and African-American DJs and producers like Underground Resistance from Detroit, who made a significant contribution to the creation and spread of techno culture," he said."Our joy is hard to put into words," Rave The Planet added in a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ravetheplanet.com/en/techno-culture-in-berlin-unesco-heritage/">statement</a> following the news. "This recognition marks a significant milestone for the entire electronic music culture and has implications far beyond the borders of Berlin."

How Berlin's techno scene came to define the post-wall city and earn UNESCO cultural heritage status — with a little help from Detroit

<ul class="summary-list"><li>My husband and I have lived part time in Mexico for 20 years.</li><li>I've noticed some communication differences, like Mexicans tend to be more indirect.</li></ul>When <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/parents-live-other-countries-two-weeks-month-due-his-work-2024-8">my husband</a> and I decided to retire, we devised a plan. We wanted to rent out our home in California and visit the UNESCO World Heritage city of Guanajuato.We planned on staying in the city for just six months, but 20 years later, we now <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/american-moving-living-mexico-what-expats-should-stop-doing-2024-1">live in Mexico</a> as expats part time.Even though my husband and I have been living in Mexico part time for two decades years, I'm still surprised at how different the culture is compared to the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/the-11-nations-of-the-united-states-2015-7">American culture</a> I have lived in all my life.The biggest <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/cultural-differences-between-us-europe-american-traveler-2024-2">cultural differences</a> are always in the way we communicate.<h2 id="d2e8583d-bb3e-4b9a-bd44-82eee9977618">People in Mexico tend to be more indirect</h2>I found Americans to be very direct. In Mexico, however, if I speak bluntly and to the point, it can be misinterpreted as rude and offensive since it clashes with a more diplomatic communication style. The priority, as in other <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/moving-latin-america-retirement-expensive-social-security-panama-costa-rica-2024-6">Latin countries</a>, is to preserve harmony.To avoid conflict or confrontation, the Mexicans I met rarely say "no" directly but rather speak in a roundabout way to convey their message. If asked a "yes" or "no" question, they might meander around inconclusively before reaching a vague answer like: "Let me think about it."For example, in my <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/yoga-classes-solo-travel-mindfulness-culture-2023-11">yoga class</a>, one member coordinates a monthly breakfast. A few weeks ago, I chuckled when I read the message she wrote to the group. She took 160 words to basically say, "We need to decide where to have breakfast this month."It's different from my minimalist <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/us-vs-uk-school-writing-styles-education-2023-12">English style</a>.<h2 id="35082b21-82ef-409c-9b94-faa99818da58">For some Mexicans, lateness is acceptable</h2>As an American, I have noticed some Mexicans have a casual attitude toward time, which can be frustrating.Recently, for example, I had an appointment with the director of a nonprofit to discuss updating the agency's newsletter. Before arriving at <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/millennial-makes-six-figures-freelancing-remotely-side-hustle-van-life2024-2">her office</a>, I was already flustered because her directions had been ambiguous — at best — and in Guanajuato's nonlinear streets, house numbers aren't consecutive.When I finally arrived, her staff told me she was out of the office and would be back ahorita, which means "soonish."Instead of recognizing that she was late only by my definition, not hers, I started to feel unimportant and ignored. When she showed up half an hour later, I felt less confident in my Spanish. While <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/kids-fluent-spanish-english-how-to-do-it-2024-6">I'm fluent</a> in the language, my conversational ease still fluctuates depending on different circumstances, and that day, it wasn't as strong as usual. I left feeling very deflated.My takeaway is not to take lateness personally in Mexico.<h2 id="832b0917-bc62-4b36-9972-001ee9d4e627">Cheeky jokes are the norm</h2>The Mexicans I met like to tease each other, give friends cheesy nicknames, and make jokes about things that in <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/moved-to-spain-couldnt-afford-retirement-in-us-2024-8">the US</a> would be inappropriate.For example, at a concert I attended, one of the musicians referred to another as gordito, meaning plump. I can't imagine a performer joking about someone's <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/man-lost-100lbs-key-lessons-fat-loss-2024-8">weight in the US</a> — and never in front of an audience.<h2 id="06afd3a0-57fe-4f86-bfe3-a2a808bf5ca3">Personal space and alone time isn't important to most Mexican people</h2>In Guanajuato — the city in <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/activities-tourists-cant-miss-in-mexico-city-cdmx-local-tips-2023-3">central Mexico</a> where we live — there are many festivities with crowds, and as a gringa, I still find all the jostling and physical contact with strangers unsettling at times.A few years ago, our 25-year-old Spanish tutor told my <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/frugal-mom-fights-with-husband-when-kids-want-expensive-things-2024-8">British husband</a> Barry that after her sister married, she would have a room to herself for the first time. He could think of nothing better."Isn't that wonderful?" he said."Oh, no," she said. "I'll be lonely."Their respective reactions reflected very different <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/benefits-of-diverse-companies-2017-3">cultural values</a>.<h2 id="36a33523-cd08-482c-9a4f-451c60bdaa53">Most Mexicans I meet appreciate simple courtesies</h2>When we first bought our home, I didn't realize how important courtesy is in Mexico. Thankfully, I have since softened and, in fact, have grown very fond of the gentle niceties many Mexicans use.If, for example, I'm asking directions or entering a shop, I know to first say Buenos días or Buenos tardes. Similarly, I always greet the driver and my <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/what-to-say-someone-wants-to-switch-seats-on-plane-2024-6">fellow passengers</a> when getting on a bus. When leaving a restaurant, I'm sure to say, as many Mexicans do, Buen provecho (meaning bon appetit) to the remaining diners.Some courtesies make me laugh. If a person walks down the street in Mexico and sneezes, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/started-conversations-with-strangers-to-gain-confidence-2023-12">complete strangers</a> from a block away will exclaim, Salud!, which means "good health" but also "cheers."After almost 20 years of living in Guanajuato, I'm still discovering quirky-to-me aspects of Mexican communication. The unexpected twists in the way Mexicans express themselves occasionally confuse me, but they are mostly a source of laughter and pleasure.
