Title The Kulu Valley: Impact of Tourism Development in the Mountain Areas
 
Creator Singh, Tej Vir
 
Subject 915 Geography of and Travel in Asia
 
Description Experience has shown that the development of tourism creates problem in the pastoral valleys of the mountain areas. Rich in heritage of nature and culture, these are special places where tourism should have no chance to grow in isolation. On the contrary, partnership of tourism with other native sectors (Agriculture, Horticulture, Forestry, Handicrafts and Animal Husbandry) is holistically desired. Since insularity is often their characteristic feature, smallness of tourism adds to their image, and hence limits to its growth becomes a pre-condition for sustainable development. Wherever these basics are ignored, tourism grows destructive by eroding valley's essential features in various environments of ecology, culture and economy, leaving behind ruined paradises to which few tourists return.
