Tourism & Hospitality Skill Council (THSC), under the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE), has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Visa, a global leader in digital payments.

The three-year partnership, which is valued at up to $1 million, aims to upskill at least 20,000 Indian youth in tourism-relevant skills.

It is set to train youth across 10 Indian states, including Assam, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, and West Bengal, to enhance the overall service experience for tourists.

The program will focus on essential roles within the domestic tourism industry, such as tour guides, customer service executives, naturalists, and paragliding tandem pilots.
