Adventure sports safety aspect key: House panel
The New Indian Express Jeypore
|February 06, 2025
REFERRING to the rise in accidents related to adventure sports in the country, a parliamentary committee has recommended that the ministry of tourism introduces a centralised licensing framework for adventure tour operators.
"A uniform licensing system is crucial for ensuring that all operators adhere to the required safety, quality and regulatory standards," Rajya Sabha's standing committee on transport, tourism and culture noted in its recent report tabled in Lok Sabha on Monday.
The panel has been advocating enactment of a law to regulate services offered to hold exploration and travel involving a certain degree of risk by the service providers in India.
It made fresh recommendations after the ministry submitted that under its voluntary scheme, it accords approval or recognition to tour operators including those organising adventurous outdoor activities.
