GUIDELINES & NATIONAL STRATEGY FOR SUSTAINABLE  ECO-TOURISM IN INDIA

Eco tourism is now globally recognised as a powerful tool for conservation of forests, biodiversity/ wildlife and scenic landscapes. It does so by creating sustainable alternative livelihoods for forest dependent communities and by generating conservation awareness among masses and decision makers. In order to strengthen community control and management of the forests, it is important to generate a sustainable flow of non-extractive financial benefits of forests for the communities, to ensure that the communities take interest in the conservation of forests and wildlife. Ecotourism is perhaps the only means of achieving this end. Apart from its conservation and economic value, public interest in nature-based recreation, i.e. ecotourism is fast increasing, and it is the duty of the government to provide this service to the public as far as compatible with conservation imperatives. Ecotourism is one of the fastest growing segments of the travel and tourism industry which is one of the highest producers of global wealth and employment.
