Necessity for the development of eco-tourism site
More than one lac of tourists, Indians and foreigners, visit the Ranthanbhore National Park RNP every year. Over the years, the number of tourists has considerably increased which has resulted in the rise of tourists pressure in the park. Due to this the management and development of the park has also been adversely affected. The main cause of tourist pressure in RNP is the non-availability of other tourist places at Sawai madhopur. There are certain areas in Sawai mansingh sanctuary and National Chambal Ghariyal Sanctuary which can be developed as important eco-tourism sites. The area of 22 KM falling between Palighat to Rameswar ghat in National Ghariyal sanctuary is a suitable site for the development of eco-tourism. Once this area is developed as eco-tourism site, this will help reducing the tourist pressure from RNP.
