Our Impact

As a traveller it is important that we educate ourselves about the possible ways of spending right and the crucial role of eco-tourism in balancing the needs of tourists with the conservation of biodiversity and the livelihoods of local communities.

Eco-tourism involves engaging and empowering local communities. It encourages the active participation of local residents in tourism activities, ensuring that they benefit economically and socially from the industry.

National parks in India are often home to indigenous or local communities with unique cultures and demographics. Eco-tourism emphasizes the preservation of these cultures by promoting respectful interactions between tourists and locals and discouraging practices that may negatively impact traditional ways of life.

It is pivotal that we as consumers choose wisely and travel to places and stay in lodges that have solid principles for wildlife viewing, waste management, and empowering the local communities who are the greatest stakeholders of the fragile ecosystems of India.

Eco-tourism can create multiple channels to push great portions of its revenue back into local economies. This may involve supporting local businesses, hiring local guides, and creating opportunities for local communities to sell handmade crafts or provide services.

Responsible tourism can also show the way forward by influencing future sustainable infrastructure development projects that can minimize their impact on the environment. This includes eco-friendly accommodations, waste disposal systems, and transportation options that reduce carbon emissions.
