Through this
web site we aspire to promote village tourism in
Himachal Pradesh by encouraging sustainable forms of
tourism that develops & builds on local resources, is
meaningful in its essence and brings benefit to
local communities by making a surprising product for
tourists.
Himachal has
enough potential to grow village tourism provided state
government encourages this aspect of tourism. The
cuisines and village traditions make fundamental reason
to promote village traditions. The unique deity culture
is so mysterious that it can be a well demonstrated show
cause of ethnic communities and their existence with
super natural powers.
The village
life in higher Himachal Himalayas is influenced by a
natural sense of ecological preservation and respect
towards nature. Village people have a innocence that is
harmless for fragile ecology they exist in. There are
many issues in this particular side that can attract
tourists who yearn to spend time & have simple, pure
life around for some time in their vacations.
The
hill villagers all over the world have a sentiment and
love for their hills, culture and lifestyle. But
somewhere they are feeling forced to depart from their
age old traditions, customs and lifestyle due to lack
of economic stability. The hardships of low economic
background force village people to leave their native
places and join cities and towns for employment
opportunities. If we can encourage some scopes with
village tourism then our fellow Himachal inhabitants
may never migrate to towns for employment, and local
traditions and social structure will be safeguarded
with the advent of village tourism in Himachal.
Visitors &
guests from any part of globe have a curiosity to have
an introduction with local traditions, culture and
village life, this is a very potential tourism product
for them. Himachal has a potential to draw tourists on
village platform as we do have many platforms in
village life like folk-art, handlooms, cultural fairs
that mostly happen in villages. There must be some
encouragement from tourism and hospitality sector to
introduce village oriented tourism to prolong guests
stay in Himachal Pradesh as well as demonstrate to our
fellow villagers about potentially progressive
ways of development by integrating their community
participation towards these issues.
