Our Journey

On 29th June 2000, during the peak summer days in Varanasi, a group of dedicated individuals from the tourism and hospitality sector came together with a shared vision. With a deep passion for tourism and a desire to bring unity among professionals, they laid the foundation of Varanasi Tourism Guild (VTG).

At that time, they never imagined that this small initiative would one day grow into one of the largest and most respected tourism organizations in Varanasi.

Over the years, VTG has continuously evolved, driven by commitment, collaboration, and strong values. Today, the guild proudly represents 125+ members, including travel agents, tour operators, hoteliers, guides, and various professionals connected to the tourism industry.

Each member actively contributes to the growth and promotion of tourism, not only in Varanasi but also across the country. VTG stands as a symbol of unity, trust, and collective progress in the tourism sector.
