Rural & Eco Tourism In India – Problems & Prospects "Environmental Impacts On Tourism”

Abstract

Radical economic restructuring and diversification rarely appears to have a positive, or a neutral environmental impact. In this article we are going to examine the impact of environment on the growth of tourism and what are the various means / sources through which Indian tourism is being significantly influenced. The rapid changes in that have taken place in the last few decades be it a change in the economic, political or any other issues, the infrastructure, the expansion of facilities to the domestic & international tourists & the government policies and procedures have paved way for a huge number of international tourists to get attracted to the archeological study of Indian monuments. The overall environmental impact on economic restructuring would have been relatively minor without this environmental challenge. In this article we have outlined the impact of environment on the tourism in India and across the globe and its contribution to environmental conservation.
