Exploring Ecotourism Potentials And Nature Conservation Initiatives In Corbett Tiger Reserve

Abstract

Ecotourism is pro-environment tourism that promises to promote conservation as well. Uttarakhand has immense potential to promote ecotourism. The present work explores the potential of ecotourism in Corbett National Park, which is part of Terailandscape having swamps and grasslands with mixed forests that preserve tigers. The park is the most popular national park in India and famous for tiger and elephant safari. However, the lack of ecotourism guidelines resulted into the mass tourism practices inside the park and threat to the fragile environment of the park.
