Abstract
Abstract: Village tourism is a relatively recent activity that is incessantly improving its operating mechanism. It has emerged as a significant alternative for local socio-economic development, because it makes use of the local natural resources, cultural heritage, traditions and customs of the villages in strengthening the rural economy. However, rural tourism needs to be implemented/practiced with due sensitivity toward conservation of ecology, environment and indigenous culture in the countryside. The rural landscape in the province of Himachal Pradesh is replete with a comely, picturesque natural environment as well as a special cultural heritage that surely facilitates and promotes tourist activities. The present paper examines the major aspects of rural tourism development in Himachal Pradesh, besides considering viable strategies, methods and techniques to promote tourism in the hilly terrain of this province. Since rural tourism is an activity, complementary to agriculture, with ample scope for economical development, it can be a way for the development and strengthening of the rural community in the state. The present paper intends to study how rural tourism can be one of the forms of tourism that incorporates the aspects of sustainable development along with essential provisos for protection of environment and development of entrepreneurship, alongside due preservation of long-established ethnic village traditions, customs, values and practices.
