TourismBharat.com, a popular Indian travel and tourism portal, has pledged to step up its efforts in the field of sustainability and social responsibility. As a leading source of travel guidance and inspiration, the site is dedicated to promoting eco-friendly practices and sustainable tourism to protect India’s diverse natural and cultural heritage.
The Tourism Board of India is set to implement a variety of initiatives aimed at promoting sustainable tourism, including:
- Introducing the Eco-Friendly Travel Series:
The website plans to release a series of green travel guides that focus on destinations that are committed to sustainability. These guides will provide travelers with tips on how to reduce their environmental footprint while experiencing the sights of India. - Support community tourism:
As part of efforts to ensure that local communities benefit from tourism revenues, Tourism India will partner with local entities to promote community-based tourism. This initiative will include local tours, home stays and cultural experiences that provide a holistic view of the local lifestyle. - Call for plastic-free travel:
Starting this Independence Day (August 15, 2024), TourismBharat.com will launch a campaign aimed at reducing plastic waste. The campaign will promote the use of reusable items like water bottles, bags and utensils, and highlight destinations that have banned single-use plastic. - Promote wildlife conservation:
In collaboration with several wildlife conservation groups, Tourism Bharat aims to raise awareness about the importance of conserving biodiversity in India. It will provide content that promotes responsible wildlife tourism and supports conservation activities. - Spreading the culture of green travel:
The site will also offer tips on choosing eco-friendly accommodations, reducing your carbon footprint, and getting involved in local environmental efforts.
Expanding collaborative efforts:
TourismBharat is actively developing partnerships with environmental NGOs, sustainability advocates, tour operators and hospitality providers to expand its sustainable tourism efforts. In collaboration with its partners, the portal aims to promote responsible tourism practices across the industry.
Participation opportunities:
TourismBharat.com welcomes travellers, businesses and organisations to join in promoting sustainable tourism. Travellers are encouraged to share their eco-friendly travel stories through travel diaries on the site, helping educate and inspire others to travel sustainably and preserve the beauty of India.
