After the catastrophic
disaster in Uttarakhand in the year 2013, many feared about its development.
Though religious tourism sector has seen a decline, wild life tourism sector
has seen a surge. Corbett National Park has witnessed an all-time high inflow
of tourist this year. Many tourist-friendly policies adopted by the National
park management is the root cause of this phenomenal growth.
Better conservation efforts by the National Park management along
with opening of a new tourist zone and very transparent online booking process
have been the primary reason of this surge in footfalls. It’s not only
the Management, nature lover tourists make sure that they don’t destroy or
pollute the wild park.
