BENEFITS OF ECOTOURISM IN INDIA

BENEFITS OF ECOTOURISM IN INDIA

Eco-tourism in India involves more than just a visit to the Himalayas or an appreciation of the beauty of the country. It is responsible and sustainable travel that tries to conserve the environment and to promote the life of the local population. Tourism is one of the biggest economic sectors in India, as the country welcomes millions of visitors each year from all over the world. For years, tourism has had a negative impact on the environment in India, and the local people have not directly benefited from it at all. Eco-tourism hopes to change all of this by ensuring that natural areas are preserved and that the culture of the region is respected.

The following are some of the benefits of ecotourism in India:

Conservation:
There are quite a large number of endangered animal and plant species in India. The money that is collected from the parks and the preserves is being used to conserve the environment. Furthermore, the fee is being used to maintain the parks and to build new parks. The money is also being used to protect some of the neglected regions in the country and to implement techniques that will help to reverse or repair the damage that traditional tourism has had on the nation’s environment.

Protection of endangered species
Ecotourism has helped to protect threatened wildlife and plants in India. Investors and entrepreneurs are encouraged to build hotels and resorts that will not have a negative impact on the environment. Therefore, environmentally conscious travelers can stay in these Eco-friendly hotels, and they can be sure that the local plant and animal population was not affected negatively by the hotel’s construction. Some of the accommodation fees are also used to protect endangered plants and animals.

Economic benefits
Ecotourism promotes fair hiring and work practices that have helped to stabilize the economy in India. The locals are trained in tourism management and marketing as well as in hospitality so that they can get employment in this sector. This way, the local economy can improve, and the local population can benefit from the tourists who visit their area.

Cultural benefits
Ecotourism aims to recognize and respect the cultures of the indigenous people. Ecotourism organizations always hold dialogues with local leaders in order to ensure that the tourism activities do not have any negative impact on the lives of the people. Furthermore, tourists are encouraged to interact with the local population and to learn their customs. This way, the local heritage is preserved, and traditional festivals, crafts, ceremonies and art forms are revitalized and sustained.

Awareness
Ecotourism involves respectfully interacting with the environment and the local population in India. As a result, the tourists become more aware of the plight that the locals face, as well as the environmental degradation in the area. This will encourage them to raise awareness, and this could help in environmental conservation. The increased awareness could also encourage them to help the locals.

Ecotourism has become very popular in India, as both tourists and travel agents have realized the benefits of ecotourism in India. As a result, international hotel chains and tour operators are promoting eco-friendly travel. They are also adopting eco-friendly practices such as the use of renewable energy, recycling and use of water conservation schemes. All of these will help to improve the environment as well as the quality of life in India.

ECO TOURISM IN INDIA

Eco-Tourism is a special kind of tourism that encompasses an array of activities. Ecotourism involves visiting a place to view the natural habitat including plants, animals and the culture of the inhabitants. The activity is usually carried out by environmentalists or biologists for the purpose of promoting environmental and cultural conservation among other things. The places visited have unique and fragile natural inhabitants that are normally at the risk of extinction. The exercise is therefore done to ensure that policies and measures can be put in place to preserve these indigenous features for the future generations to enjoy as well.

The Do’s and Don’ts in Eco-Tourism

In order to ensure the measures put in place with regard to preservation of indigenous features are adhered to; following basic rules need to be always followed while on Eco-tourism travel.

The Do’s;

• Have respect for sacred sites like the local shrines or sanctuaries.
• Have respect for human privacy. That applies to instances where one needs to takes pictures or capture a video.
• Always cover up any temporarily dug toilet while camping. The toilet should be dug approximately 30 m away from any water source.
• Minimize noise pollution.
• Bring back with you any non-decomposable waste like bottles and paper bags.

The Don’ts

• Do not bury non-decomposable waste in such environments.
• Avoid lighting up fire while on camp or dropping cigarette.
• Avoid applying the use of firewood while camping to cook.
• Use of detergents for taking bath or washing clothes on wells, springs or river is prohibited as it pollutes such environs.
• Do not cut any flora to take with you fauna from your Eco-tourism travel. In some parts of the world, like Himalayas, it is considered illegal and can bring you a lot of problems with the law there.
• Avoid drinking fizzy drinks and throwing the used bottles everywhere.
• Avoid enticing the natives of these localities with food or candies. Generally, have respect for their way of life and culture.

Places in India for Eco-tourism

Garhwal is one place you need to visit. The place is thriving with plenty of natural resources in terms of exotic wide range of flora which are vivid all around its borders. This place is ideal for environmentalist as well as nature enthusiasts. On the other hand, Goa is well enriched with exotic birds’ variety as well as animals. Wildlife parks like the Sattari and Sanguem are located in Goa. A tour to this place will definitely be the most memorable after viewing all the exotic fauna in Goa area.

Sikkim is home to both indigenous fauna and flora. One may not at first understand how a place such small can be so thriving with all those natural resources. But, a visit to Sikkim will change all that. The forest cover in this area is composed of figs, bamboos, laurel as well as the sal tree among others. Flowers like the orchids and hooheriana are very common here. For the fauna, it ranges from birds like kingfishers and woodpecker to animals like the wild ass, snow leopard, Himalayas black bear as well as leopards among others. The collection of butterflies found here is not only delightful to look at, but, exotic.

Indeed, India is one place where you will find nature and bio-diversity in its undisturbed state. You will definitely feast your eyes on the sceneries and enjoy your time.
