The Tourism Department of Tamilnadu continues to focus on the Nilgiris region especially Ooty and Kodaikanal. Every year the government declares one project or the other for this region as part of additional facilities to the tourists. This adds to the ongoing onslaught by hotels. How long will this region be able to sustain this kind of development and inflow of tourists without ruining the already fragile ecosystem? . This dossier is an attempt to initiate the debate on the future of the Nilgiris vis-à-vis Tourism.

This dossier hopes to bridge the information gap and initiate a broader and intense discussion on tourism issues in Tamil Nadu. It provides a detailed look into tourism activities and developments in Tamil Nadu and the thrust is to identify and reveal tourism policies and related issues. We have also included material that is not purely tourism related to show the inter-linkages of tourism with the larger ambit of ‘development’. The dossier is divided into 8 main chapters. Each of these chapters has an essay from EQUATIONS which locates the specific issues handled therein and then the supporting documentation for the positions taken. Hence, this dossier does not confine itself to just reporting developments, but, presents reportage supported by our viewpoint of the implications of policy options taken by the government.

The Final 'Act' of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 1994 has proved to be the single dominant document defining the extent of economic sovereignity of nations. The un-avoidable implications of the provisions of the 'Act' over lives of ordinary people need no special emphasis. The Final Act incorporates the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) as its integral part. There has been considerable debate regarding the nature and content of the GATT Final Act in general but not carried forward enough to analyse the implications on the services sector. In order to do so, EQUATIONS and YATNA: P.I.R.C. have jointly made a preliminary analysis and put together a set of papers in this publication. We are attempting to initiate dialogue involving the academicians, journalists, social activists, public servants and concerned individuals and groups. It is imperative that an objective debate concerning the GATS be initiated.

Local people in Indian tourism destinations have been representing their demands for a more participatory, socio-economically integrated development of tourism. Underlying the demands is an analysis of modern tourism as a development issue controlled and dominated by Northern power-centres, whose continually expanding reach results in an ever-deepening marginalisation of ‘host’ communities; in particular, ethnic and indigenous minorities, women and children and the abuse of cultural, social, economic and environmental existence. The objective of this publication is to assess the impact of Tourism Policy in India on host communities and the socio-economic fabric through a historical analysis of Tourism Policy in India since the first policy in 1982 (and subsequent policies and National tourism Action Plans till 1995) and an exploratory assessment of the impact.
The study was done by Yatna (PIRC and EQUATIONS)
