 1. INCREASING THE GROWTH OF PRO-POOR TOURISM

Introduction

Tourism continues to be a major activity in India, which inevitably produces economic, political,
social, cultural and ecological consequences. In India, Tourism has created employment
opportunities for airline executives, hotel sales managers, structural engineers, city planners,
horticulturists, computer programmers, artisans, textiles workers, etc. In spite of its growth, the
sector has benefitted specific part of the society, e.g. business class.

What is Pro-Poor Tourism?

Pro-poor tourism (PPT) is defined as tourism that generates net benefits for the poor. Benefits
may be economic, but they may also be social, environmental or cultural. It is not a specific
product or sector of tourism, but an approach to the industry.

It is tourism that results in increased net benefits for poor people or marginalized section of the
society.

Aim:

The aim of the study would be to explore the prospects and challenges of pro-poor tourism
strategies and its significance in poverty reduction by generating employment in order to
identify useful lessons and good practice for livelihood.

Objective:

The study tries to redefine the pro-poor tourism potential by achieving the following objectives:
 a) To offer a concept of poverty alleviation by reinventing pro-poor tourism strategy;
b) By revitalizing a marginalized site highlighting the pro-poor tourism development.
c) By encouraging good local governance and enhancing public private partnership.

Need for the study

As the benefit and growth is recorded to the business class in terms of profit, at the same time
the Pro-Poor People who are actually working day and night in the sector are neglected.

Scope of the study:

The results and strategies to increase the pro-poor tourism can be implemented in the smallest
of towns and cities where the tourism sector may not be the contributing to the economic
sector but can improve the livelihood of the poor and bring the significance to the tangible and
intangible heritage as well.
 2. Urban Planning & its impact on Heritage Landscape: An Integral Management of
Urban Resources & their Heritage value

Introduction

Urban planning and heritage management have often been positioned as opposing powers in
the management of historic urban landscapes. To reconcile them it is necessary to manage the
resources holistically, integrated and in a multidisciplinary way by means of a new approach in
heritage management. This approach is not about allowing or disallowing transformation in
itself, but about establishing and guiding the nature of the transformation. It addresses the
future quality of the urban landscape and the relationships forming it.

Urbanisation increases the urge for larger economic and political shift and hence demands to
rebuild the entire urban centre affecting the heritage landscape and creates development
pressures and need of transformation in areas which have high level of cultural and heritage
value. The cities in result become strategic and their management increasingly gets complex in
nature. Thus, the birth of smart, sustainable and resilient cities comes into existence.

Aim

To integrate the urban planning and heritage landscape by managing the urban resources and
their heritage value.

Need for the study

The preservation and conservation of the heritage fabric of the past for the future generation
has now shifted from “Conserving Historical Space  Managing Resourceful urban areas.” In
order to have a balance between the both elements, an integral management of urban
resources & their heritage value is necessary.
