Sustainable tourism is conveniently defined as all types of tourism that are compatible with or contribute to sustainable development. Tourism represents 5% of the direct global GDP, one in every 12 jobs worldwide; it is the main export for a third of developing countries. Andhra Pradesh with more than 600 tourist locations attracts the largest number of tourists in India. More than 7 million visitors visit the state every year. Andhra Pradesh tourism is known as ‘Koh-I-Noor’ of India. Government of Andhra Pradesh aspires to transform the State into Eco Friendly and make available the benefits of tourism to all citizens, especially those in rural areas.
