Lifting the Veil

A framework for Community Involvement in Tourism in India

Research Papers and Case Studies
We believe that participation of local communities in tourism is a matter of right rather than an act of benevolence on the part of the industry. This paper offers the political framework within which we seek community involvement in tourism and propose different levels of community engagement along a progressive spectrum, which is inspired by the understanding of people's participation.

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.
