However, the rapid growth of tourism has also brought along various environmental, social, and economic challenges. As we strive towards creating a sustainable future, it is important to examine the role of tourism in shaping that future and find ways to make it more sustainable.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
One of the major concerns surrounding tourism is its environmental impact. The influx of tourists to popular destinations can lead to increased air and noise pollution, overconsumption of natural resources, and degradation of ecosystems. However, tourism has the potential to be a force for positive change. Sustainable tourism practices, such as promoting responsible travel and minimizing waste, can help mitigate these environmental problems. Encouraging tourists to use public transportation, supporting eco-friendly accommodations, and promoting sustainable activities like hiking or wildlife conservation can minimize the carbon footprint of tourists. Additionally, promoting awareness and education about the importance of preserving natural resources can help tourists become more conscious of their impact.
According to research published in 2022 by Nature Climate Change, tourism accounts for 11% of global greenhouse gas emissions, which is a substantial amount when all conceivable emissions sources are included. As a result, it’s evident that we need to shift towards a more sustainable tourist model, which is why we’re having this conversation today.

National Parks Of India
India is blessed with a rich tapestry of biodiversity that is both a natural heritage and a national treasure. The concept of national parks in the country traces back to the late 19th century when the importance of conserving wildlife began to take root in the consciousness of the colonial administration. The first national park in India, Hailey National Park (now known as Rajaji National Park), was established in 1936, marking a historic commitment to wildlife conservation. The post-independence era saw an exponential increase in protected areas, primarily driven by a need to conserve India’s unique flora and fauna threatened by rampant industrialization and urbanization.
