<br/><br/> National initiatives such as the national strategy for ecotourism (2022) Swadesh Darshan 2.0 and PRASHAD have been instrumental in developing eco-circulates, sustainable infrastructures, and capacity building through hospitality institution. Strengthening eco-certification systems, managing visitor flow, and promoting lesser, known destinations can ensure long term sustainability. Harnessing this untapped potential can transform rural India into a global exemplar of inclusive, responsible, and regenerative tourisms advancing the nation’s journey toward sustainable development and green economic resilience. – Reproduced
