IAS Mains General Studies Sample Answers

Topic: Eco-tourism, Measures to promote in India

The concept of developing tourism with due consideration of the environment is called Eco-tourism. Eco-tourism means the environment should not be disturbed when we develop the tourism industry, neither by wastes nor by preparing tourist place and not by disturbance to the components of environment by the tourists. It could be promoted in India by several measures.

Which are as follows:

  • We should combat the environmental problems at tourist places by controlling the country’s rate of development.

  • A section should be reserved for maintaining natural environment at the places of tourism.

  • Tourism comprises complete system of nature which includes the man and his activities, wild life, mountains and valleys, rivers, forests, social and cultural system etc. So, the whole system requires an environmental and ecological preservation and should be promoted.

By providing better conservated and promoted natural environment, we can attract more tourists. India has very rich and diverse places to tour and will have better chances to promote eco-tourism.
