HERE ARE SOME LESSER KNOWN INDIAN DESTINATIONS UNDER DEVELOPMENT FOR SUSTAINABLE TOURISM
WORLD Tourism Day, marked each year on September 27, has announced its theme for 2025 Tourism and Sustainable Transformation.
This casts a spotlight on the industry’s ability to drive meaningful change and we believe these Indian destinations are at the forefront of this new wave of sustainable tourism.
Beginning with a trip to our Andaman & Nicobar Islands, the administration is pursuing a holistic development plan under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, specifically focusing on low-impact, high-value tourism. This approach is a clear departure from mass tourism and aims to preserve the islands’ fragile marine and terrestrial ecosystems. Aves Island is a key destination in the new plan as it has been largely uninhabited and untouched by tourism. A project with a projected investment of nearly ₹36 crore is underway to build an eco-resort with approximately 50 rooms. The design emphasizes minimal land disruption and conservation of the island’s pristine coral reefs.
