Country India
Abstract The North-eastern states of India, with their unique cultural diversity, beautiful landscapes, and rich history, have immense potential for responsible tourism development. A well-known strategic approach to promoting responsible and sustainable tourism in the region is special interest tourism or SIT. SIT provides a targeted and sustainable approach with extensive features that help preserve the unique biodiversity and culture of the area while also strengthening local communities. This paper examines the idea of responsible development for the states of North-East India. It demonstrates how it could promote the socioeconomic well-being of locals while protecting the area’s natural and cultural heritage. A SWOT(C) analysis of SIT investigates internal and external factors that may impact the strategy’s success. With proper management and the development of SITs, the region has great potential to be a unique and sustainable tourism destination, to the benefit of both locals and tourists interested in experiencing the exceptional beauty and special tourism it can offer.
