Ecotourism in India - Bless for Climate
Ecotourism holidaying involves travelling to areas of natural or cultural interest and living there responsibly so as to minimize the adverse effects of tourism in its more traditional form. Ecotourism seeks to involve local communities and preserve indigenous traditions, even as it gives visitors an authentic experience. Thus, it benefits all – the environment, the community and the visitor.
Ecotourism has both environmental and social connotations, and its’ potential as a vehicle for sustainable development, especially in India, has been acknowledged. Many initiatives of investment opportunities has been taken in the sector e.g. development of opportunities, facilitation of study and familiarization tours for tour operators and journalists, establishment of reciprocal internships and professional exchange programs, and
promotion of ecotourism trade missions.
