Tourism is lively and dynamic. A continual search seems to happen over the new frontiers in technologies, and fresh destinations. This paper attempts to investigate Bangalore as a prospective destination for wine tourism, alongside benchmarking its evolution and management. Bangalore, given its resource rich status, is profoundly suitable to grow vines, most of which produce wine that meets international expectations and standards. The global benchmarking standards for wine tourism include dimensions such as infrastructure facilities for wine tourists, packages for the promotion of wine tourism, development plan related to wine tourism and goals for wine tourism Scale Testing of significant difference - independent sample test and ANOVA – constructs by demographics. The findings say that the perception of both Indian and foreign respondents regarding the rating of each dimension of the promotion of wine tourism does not differ from each other.

AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic has halted activities in the global tourism industry, and the situation has only been worsened by the general air of uncertainty and lack of effective vaccinations. Consequently, people have begun testing various remedies to enhance their immunity, primarily turning to traditional medical practices and home remedies. The medicinal use of spices, given their immune-boosting properties, is increasingly popular globally and has enhanced global awareness of spices and their products. In light of this surging popularity, this study examines spice tourism as a concept of niche tourism. This study proposes spice tourism as a valuable post-COVID-19 strategy by providing four different approaches to position spice tourism within special interest tourism. This paper also suggests a tourism development plan for spice tourism and proposes a strategy for its resilience post-COVID-19.

Students were informed about basic skills of movement, game, game types, game equipment, analytical rubric, and educational game lectures were given to the students for 6 weeks and 80 minutes each week. 12-question knowledge test was used regarding educational games, analytical scoring rubrics, developing game materials and preparing posters. Materials and posters presented in the course were recorded. Evaluation scales were selected by students and expert teachers. Selected peers and educators evaluated 25 videos. One-way analysis of variance and correlation analysis were used for the reliability and repeatability measurements of the students and teachers. R values of 0.96-0.92 were found between students and 0.78-0.86 between educators. For knowledge tests of the groups, according to Wilcoxon paired two-sample test, there was a significant difference in test results (p<.05). The t test was used in the results of the student and educator video evaluations and there was no significant difference between the scores given by the expert educators and the students to the material and poster presentations (p>.05). In conclusion, this study showed that students could make evaluations as good as expert educators when given an answer key such as a scoring rubric that will help them in the evaluation.
