There is a changing philosophy of tourism development
across the world as tourism is a very potent economic activity and simultaneously
destructive for natural and cultural resources. It is being increasingly
recognized that tourism industry- needs to be planned, developed and
managed in a sustainable way to harness the potentials of employment
generation, infrastructure development and socio-economic development
associated with it.

time require significant interdisciplinary actions in achieving an appropriate
tourism product. LASA, in last few years, with its background knowledge
in handling infrastructure development, has strengthened the organization
