Eco tourism in the islands

Tourism most revenue generating industry in many countries around the world. Some island nations where there is lack of industrialisation solely depends on Tourism industry. Now people are concerned about whether tourism industry and steps in increasing tourism revenue is affecting the mother nature. Here arised the needs of Ecotourism. Ecotourism is not absolutely a new concept, it is being practised in some tourism desination around the world for years.

The concept of ecotourism is based on how it supports the well being of local communites, which should be ecologically and geographically sustainable and depends on the culture and nature of the place. As part of commercialisation in tourism, steps taken by people to increase profit is adversely affecting the nature. I would like to mention a Hawaii travel
operator who are promoting ecotourism.
Kauai condos in the are built and maintained in such a way that the negative impact on the environment is minimised and the adverse effect on the nature is controlled to the least. Eco friendly Vaccation homes, condos, and hotels are offered by Hawaiian Beach Rentals along with the services like car rentals and airfare ticketing for those who want to have a memorable vaccation in the scenic and spectacular hawaiian beaches.

Kerala's Medical Tourism Venture

Nowadays the latest and the most discussed in Kerala is medical tourism with the state government appearing to have cracked the winning combination of fun and well.

With regards Tourists like 50-year-old Clay Andersson who came all away Carolina have already experienced the boon of Kerala’s medical tourism and the scenic beauty of the state.

When Anderson came to Kerala all he had in mind was a relaxed holiday. However growing and unbearable pains from hernia sent him looking for a reliable surgeon. He He found a specialist one in Kerala, it cost him only one fifth of what it would have cost him back home, without having to sacrifice his holiday.

Anderson says, “Tourism industry is already established in Kerala and people come for that, if it is combined with possibilities of good medicines and treatments, Kerala could usher in the field.”

In addition to several indigenous cures, healing procedures and herbal therapies, Ayurveda has attracted several patients. With the rapid growth of Ayurveda centres and resorts, modern medical practitioners are given a serious run for their money.

According to anther tourism from Germany, Hans Nowak, “People come to India because of Ayurveda as it is quite expensive in Germany. Moreover, Ayurveda is done by doctors who are from India. Ayurveda and herbal treatments are the future of Kerala.”

In 2003, KIMS in Thiruvananthapuram had about 450 international patients. In 2005 this figure rose to around 4,700.
