Eco-Tourism in India – Granting Wealth, Preserving Nature


  Eco-tourism is an alternative form of tourism that carries on exploring the untainted natural treasures, but at the same time, not to interfere with natural habitats and preserving the ecology of that region. In the simplest form, eco-tourism is the non-destructive use of environment that includes the activities like mountain trekking, wildlife safari, watching scenery etc. India, with great geographical diversity and unique flora & fauna, has tremendous potentials for eco-tourism prospects. Almost all the states and territories, which have something for this new buzz phenomenon, are promoting it and offering all possible assistance to attract eco-tourists.

  Major destinations that support eco-tourism in India are Shimla, Kashmir, Ooty, Mussoorie and, of course, the Andaman & Nicobar Islands. All these regions have their unique and rich biodiversity, and entice the travelers who want to feel the warm touch of nature. If Shimla and Ooty travel is famous for the beautiful hills capped with unique greenery, Andaman Islands are admired owing to their wonderful forests and beautiful sea-shores. Promoting the concept of eco-tourism, these regions are successfully handling the growing unemployment problem and boasting their economical growth. Apart from that, infrastructure development and social welfare in these regions are also some of the positive aspects of eco-tourism.

  Since, eco-tourism is getting an extensive attention, travel companies have also begun to focus on the destinations which are naturally and culturally rich. They offer a variety of packages like Ooty packages and Andaman packages to help travelers find their way to eco-tourism. in fact, this is also a supportive effort for eco-tourism in India.
