Eco Tourism in North & Central India

" Environmentally Responsible Travel and visitation to relatively undisturbed natural areas in order to enjoy, study and appreciate nature (and any accompanying cultural features) that promotes conservation, has low visitor impact, and provides for beneficially active, socio economic involvement of local populations." Hector Ceballos-Lascurain

Definition of eco tourism, first adopted by the Board of Directors in 1991 of the International Eco tourism Society. "Ecotourism is responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and sustains the well being of local people."

To celebrate the Year of Eco tourism 2002, Compass India has woven together some of the premier World Heritage sites in India as a tour circuit. These are monuments selected by UNESCO to encourage protection and preservation of cultural sites considered to be of outstanding value to humanity.
