Rural tourism
Rural
tourism showcases rural life, art, culture and heritage of rural locations,
benefitting the local community economically and socially as well as enabling
interaction between the tourists and locals for a more enriching tourism
experience. Rural tourism is multi-faceted and may entail farm/agricultural
tourism, cultural tourism, nature tourism, adventure tourism, and ecotourism.
Rural tourism has certain characteristics: it is experience oriented; locations
are sparsely populated; it is predominantly in a natural environment; it meshes
with seasonality and local events; and it is based on preservation of culture,
heritage and traditions. India’s rural geographical and cultural diversity
enables it to offer a wide range of tourism products and experiences.
Increasing levels of awareness, growing interest in heritage and culture,
improved accessibility to rural areas, and environmental consciousness are
playing an important role in promoting rural tourism. This form holds immense
potential in India, where more than 70% of the population resides in villages.
The
Ministry of Tourism along with UNDP undertook the “Explore Rural India”
Campaign, to give tourists a chance to experience life in rural India. It is
one of the most successful tourism campaigns so far. During the “Visit India
Year 2009” campaign, 15 rural tourism sites were selected as rural eco-holiday
sites.
