Abstract

Tourism planning and development strategies in Sikkim, which is a popular tourist destination in India, as well as the identification of sustainable tourism practises that can be implemented to promote economic growth while maintaining the natural environment and cultural heritage of the region are the focuses of this project. the present tourism planning and development strategies in Sikkim, which is a major tourist destination in India, as well as to discover sustainable tourism practises that may encourage economic growth while also maintaining the natural environment and cultural legacy of the region. While there are efforts underway in Sikkim to advance more environmentally responsible tourist practises, these efforts face obstacles on the road to full realisation. Inadequate infrastructure, a lack of resources for conservation and waste management, and a lack of understanding among visitors about responsible tourism practises are some of the obstacles. The community is not involved in the planning and development of tourism, therefore this presents a problem.
