This document discusses the impacts of rural tourism on the architectural and cultural heritage of rural communities in North-East India. It analyzes two case studies - Sualkuchi village in Assam and Mawlynnong village in Meghalaya.

Chapter 3 Planning Methods (Tourism Planning and Development)Md Shaifullar Rabbi
Planning Methods discusses standards of provision and criteria for recognizing provisions. A provision is a liability of uncertain timing or amount that arises from past events where settlement is expected to result in an outflow of resources. A provision will be recognized if an entity has a present obligation from a past event, an outflow of benefits is probable to settle the obligation, and the amount can be reliably estimated. Tourism provision defines services in the tourism sector and conditions under which public institutions, health facilities, cultural institutions, associations and individuals can provide certain tourism services. The document outlines advantages like economic and job opportunities and disadvantages such as environmental damage, commercialization of culture, and economic dependence on tourism.
Tourism involves travel for recreation, leisure, religious or business purposes for a limited time. It can be domestic or international and is a major source of income for many countries. Tourism brings economic, social and environmental benefits through job creation, cultural exchange, and conservation efforts, but must be managed carefully to minimize negative impacts. Some popular tourist spots in Bangladesh include Cox's Bazar beach, Jaflong, Rangamati, Kaptai Lake, Bandarban, the Sundarbans, Ahsan Manzil, and Saint Martin's Island.
This document discusses transboundary eco-tourism between India and Bhutan, specifically focusing on the states of Sikkim and Bhutan.

Fostering sustainable development through nature-based tourism can benefit from local initiatives, national support and collaborative regional efforts.

other rare species. It is an almost rectangular country approximately the size of Switzerland; Bhutan is nearly
the size of Vermont and New Hampshire combined and is inhabited by less than 700,000 people. The origin
of the present name “Bhutan” remains obscure. It was perhaps derived from the Indian term Bhotanta, mean-
ing “end of Tibet.”

Himalayan range reaching 25,000 feet along the Tibetan frontier. Towering snowcapped MountJomolhari at
