Tourism planning involves four key features: contributing to objectives, being primary among tasks, being pervasive, and resulting in efficiency. It is a continuous process that should be realistic, practical, and involve coordination, communication, and alternative courses of action. Tourism planning identifies resources, organizations, markets, and evolves from boosterism to community-based planning serving broader goals. It considers local population attitudes and the complexities of competing destinations, policies, currency, weather, and economic conditions. International planning occurs through organizations like WTO, IATA, and stages include inception, growth, maturity, and potential decline.
This is how i have envisioned the implementation of the community based tourism package ( SCR 6.1) to be implemented in my state through the funding of ADB. The presentation gives you a clear cut idea on what is community based tourism m how we are planning to implement it in Himachal through PRA tools and the areas that we have selected for the skill based training of which will be given to the communities in the identified clusters. These inferences have been drawn from my experiences working in following areas & organizations -
- Great Himalayan National Park in Himachal Pradesh
-Annapurna Conservation Area in Nepal
- Sikkim Biodiversity & Conservation Project
-Surya-Abha Society Ladakh
-Directorate of Mountaineering & Allied Sports , Manali
-Government Post Graduate Degree College Kullu
-The Kullu Project
-Sunshine HImalayan Adventures , Kullu

Evolution of Tourism Planning and Development
1. Boosterism – promoting or boosting one's own town, city or organization with the goal of
improving public insights and perception of it
2. Industry-oriented planning – activities include feasibility, marketing, forecasting, product
development, promotion and strategic planning
3. Environment-based planning – plan affected by many factors in the broader environment
4. Community-based planning – serving broader community goals
LOCAL POPULATION – important source of getting a tourism plan implemented
A survey can:
• assess community attitude towards tourism development
• identify impacts of tourism in the community
• obtain local input to tourism plans
Complexities in Tourism Planning
• tourism offerings and prices of competing destinations
• policies and legislations
• currency exchange
• economic state
2. • weather

• OECD
STAGES OF DESTINATION DEVELOPMENT
1. INCEPTION – discovery
