The Tourism Club of Mercy College, Palakkad, aims to cultivate a deep appreciation for travel, culture, and heritage among students by promoting responsible and sustainable tourism practices. The club seeks to enhance awareness about the socio-economic, cultural, and environmental significance of tourism and to encourage students to view it as both an educational and career-oriented field. Through various activities such as study tours, heritage walks, seminars, workshops, and interactive sessions with professionals from the tourism sector, the club strives to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical exposure. The club also aims to familiarize students with the rich cultural and natural heritage of Kerala and India at large, fostering pride and responsibility toward preserving these resources. Emphasis is placed on sustainable tourism principles that protect local traditions, natural landscapes, and biodiversity while supporting community development. Additionally, the Tourism Club aspires to develop leadership qualities, communication skills, and organizational abilities among students through active participation in tourism-related events and initiatives. By collaborating with local tourism bodies and governmental organizations, the club provides a platform for experiential learning, enabling students to understand the dynamics of the tourism industry. Ultimately, the Tourism Club of Mercy College envisions nurturing globally aware, socially responsible, and environmentally conscious individuals who can contribute meaningfully to the promotion and growth of sustainable tourism.
