The National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020) introduced by the Government of India has far-reaching implications for the education sector in the country. Beyond its primary goals of reforming the education system, NEP 2020 also has a substantial impact on education tourism and the hospitality industry in India. NEP 2020 emphasizes the internationalization of education, promoting India as a global education destination and attracting a diverse student population from around the world. This shift in the education landscape has significant implications for the hospitality sector, as it must adapt to cater to the needs and expectations of international students and their families. Ultimately, this research paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how NEP 2020 is reshaping the landscape of education tourism and hospitality in India. It underscores the need for proactive measures by the hospitality sector to capitalize on the opportunities presented by the policy while addressing the challenges associated with catering to a global student population.
