The Handicrafts Story and Tourism

Research Papers and Case Studies
The close linkage of tourism and souvenir products creates great potential of the tourism sector in marketing and publicity of handicrafts. However, it also raises pertinent questions about nature of promotion of handicrafts in tourism and its implications on artisans and the art itself. The artisan needs to be seen and valued as an artist by giving the craft products their rightful place in its cultural context and ensuring real cultural exchange through tourism.

EQUATIONS is a research, policy, and advocacy organisation working on tourism and development issues in India. Our work has focused on the economic, environmental, social, cultural, political and administrative impacts of tourism particularly on people living in and around tourism destinations. We collaborate closely with organisations and peoples movements, to influence people-centered forms of tourism & policies that ensure significant local benefits and take into account the negative impacts of an unbridled growth of tourism.
