To make tourism eco friendly as well as an income for nation following measures should be taken: 1) Plastic polythene bags should be banned and instead paper bags should be used, which will stop degradation of land . 2) Terrorism and Nakshalits activities should be stopped to make tourist attract and make them feel safe. 3) To acquire land waste land around should be utilized. 4) For electricity purpose green energy should be used. 5) Proper planning of town should be done.

A few ideas are illustrated here: 1) Develop proper roads to the area (ensures connectivity) 2) Tie up better modes of transportation withing the area such as cabs, buses. 3) Facilitate online booking facilities for transportation, accommodation. 4) Develop garbage evacuation and disposal system (provides employment, removes garbage) 5) Allocation of proper parking spaces, which would minimize traffic jams. 6) Proper allocation and maintenance of sanitation facilities (say every 200 m)

1. Public urination and spitting to be banned and offenders should be penalised with heavy fine on spot. 2.Open and platform stalls for selling food items to be discouraged, instead the genuine vendors to be provided with standard built hygienic stalls with washing facilities and drain facilities to provided for them on rental basis. 3.As far as possible four wheelers and two wheelers can be stopped at a safe non polluting distance and provide them with Electric Vehicle Transportation.

Tourism has earned us foreign exchange.But the sad part is that it also has given room for unwanted side effects for the locals, such as gathering plastic garbage. Tourists can be asked to avoid use of plastics or else an effective way of disposing it without harming ecology to be made, such as dust bins at short distances along roads and places where people converge.with immediate replacement of bins when full.Modern well maintained public toilets to be provided in important places.

n) A separate fund to promote tourism should be created. A committe, with 2 representatives from each state should be part of it. Every state should propose at least 2 cities to Center and Center should match every rupee put by state government in the common pool. The committee members will be given powers to spend money and every paisa need to be accounted for. One target should be set for every city every year e.g. A completely renovated Railway station for first year, development of camp site

m) Promoting our own distinct identity, making our own BRANDs, removing language barriers through technology, providing easier navigation/travel, accepting payments for booking in foreign currency, making available every piece of information on internet, providing variety of options for everyone ( backpackers to ultra rich people) IS THE WAY TO GO.

j) SAFETY OF WOMEN : Remember Nirbhya incident... Over there in USA, it was a big headline on all the news channels. The fabric of our culture is being destroyed by the stuff shown in our movies/tv shows/reality shows. Forget tourism, if we don't rectify this issue, we'll have much more bigger things to worry about. A tourist is a GUEST, and GUEST are compared to God. Unless we start respecting women, we can't expect our society to progress, and tourism to flourish.
