Investigating the Effects of Tourism on Socio-Cultural and Environmental Dimensions of Achanakmar-Amarkantak Biosphere Reserve

Abstract

This research examines the complex effects of tourism in the Achanakmar-Amarkantak Biosphere Reserve, acknowledging that it both promotes economic growth and presents obstacles to the sustainability of the ecosystem. Underscoring the increasing importance of tourism in the area, the study explores the favorable and unfavorable socio-cultural effects on nearby communities, including improved intercultural comprehension and possible disputes. Environmental effects are also looked at, including habitat damage and biodiversity loss. For the socio-cultural effect assessment, the research uses a thorough mixed-methods approach, and for the environmental impact assessment, it uses a strict method. By using these approaches, the study hopes to offer insightful information on eco-friendly tourist strategies and the safeguarding of the distinct ecological and sociocultural legacy of the biosphere reserve.
