Tourism has emerged in this decade as a central pillar of the services economy, and it can uniquely help society respond to global challenges, if its growth is managed wisely, with an emphasis on ethics, and poverty alleviation. The dynamic past and projected growth of the tourism sector, its broad direct and indirect impact across all economies - particularly those of developing states make it particularly well suited as a development tool. Since tourism is a multi- dimensional activity, and basically a service industry, private sector and voluntary organisations become active partners in the endeavour to attain sustainable growth in tourism. Hotel industry sector in India is accounted as very important in development of tourism and employment generation. It plays an important role such as bridging between clients and principal suppliers, image builder, rapid travel services, social and continues process. Manipur conflict cast a pall over tourism sector in the northeast. Over a 3 month-long clashes between two communities of Manipur, mounting death and destruction in the north eastern states of Manipur has brought life and livelihood to a grinding halt and completely derailed the momentum that tourism sector in the state and the region as a whole has received over the last few years. The key importance of the study is the assessment of the existing impact of conflict in the hotels undertaken in the study and to suggest measures so that supply meets the conflict period.
