The Indian government is looking to raise trained manpower to meet the growing needs of the wellness tourism sector, which is fast-growing and recession-free, an official said Monday.
"Lack of skilled manpower is a major challenge faced by the wellness tourism sector. Untrained manpower would adversely affect quality of services offered to the tourists, the sector being recession-free with 20 percent growth rate over last year," said Girish Shankar, additional secretary in the tourism ministry.
In order to increase awareness about wellness tourism and to bring together various stakeholders on one platform, the tourism ministry is organising a Global Spa and Wellness Summit (GSWS) in October, he added.
"This summit will bring together leaders and visionaries to positively impact and shape the future of the global spa and wellness industries across the globe," Shankar added.
