The Intersection of Environmental and Tourism Industry laws to promote Sustainable Tourism

Abstract

Tourism is one industry that is growing in importance to national GDP all around the world. Potential for investment, employment, and trade is aided by the tourism sector. It also raises human well-being and encourages overall economic growth. The tourism sector has expanded steadily, but there is a flip side to this growth: the environment has altered significantly as a result of it. The more complex the Indian tourism industry has grown, the more laws, rules, and regulations pertaining to the environment have been necessary to ensure that no intentional or unintentional harm is done to the environment, and that no environmental loss results from the expanding tourism sector. This article examines the role that environmental laws and regulations have played in the development of India's sustainable tourism sector.
