Introduction:
Tourism industry in India is growing and it has vast potential
for generating employment and earning large amount of foreign exchange besides
giving a fillip to the countrys overall economic and social development. But
much more remains to be done. Eco tourism needs to be promoted so that tourism
in India helps in preserving and sustaining the diversity of the Indias natural
and cultural environments. Tourism in India should be developed
in such a way that it accommodates and entertains visitors in a way that is
minimally intrusive or destructive to the environment and sustains and supports
the native cultures in the locations it is operating in. Moreover, since tourism
is a multi dimensional activity, and basically a service industry,
it would be necessary that all wings of the Central and State governments, private
sector and voluntary organisations become active partners in the endeavour to
attain sustainable growth in tourism if India is to become a world player in
the tourism industry.
There are various definitions of tourism. Theobald 1994 suggested that etymologically,
the word tour is derived from the Latin tornare and the Greek tornos, meaning
a lathe or circle the movement around a central point or axis. This meaning
changed in modern English to represent ones turn. The suffixism is defined as
an action or process typical behavior or quality whereas the suffixist denotes
one that performs a given action. When the word tour and the suffixes ism and
ist are combined, they suggest the action of movement around a circle. One can
argue that a circle represents a starting point, which ultimately returns back
to its beginning. Therefore, like a circle, a tour represents a journey that
is a round trip, i.e., the act of leaving and then returning to the original
starting point, and therefore, one who takes such a journey can be called a
tourist.
