Paper Details

The purpose of this essay is to look into rural tourism in India and how it might assist rural communities. It has both positive and negative implications for both rural and urban locations. This is what rural tourism implies. Rural tourism can be defined as any type of tourism that showcases rural life, art, culture, and tradition in rural areas, thereby benefiting the local economy and allowing tourists and locals to interact for a more full tourism experience. Rural tourism is a type of tourism that takes place in rural areas. Farm/agricultural tourism, cultural tourism, natural tourism, adventure tourism, and eco-tourism are all examples of this type of tourism. Tourism's potential for growth could be leveraged as a strategy for rural development. The construction of a solid platform centred on the concept of Rural Tourism is undeniably helpful for a country like India, where over 7 million villages house over 74 percent of the people. The world's industrialization and development patterns have shifted to a more urban-centric approach. Furthermore, the stresses of city life have resulted in a "counter-urbanization" phenomenon. This has piqued people's attention in rural areas. To expand tourism and its socioeconomic benefits to rural and new geographic areas, village tourism should be promoted as a key tourist product. It would be determined which geographic regions are most conducive to the development and marketing of rural tourism.
