Abstract

Tourism is majorly pondered to be the world’s largest business enterprise that entails millions of employees and more than triple times its customers. Studies have revealed that around 850 million trips are being taken each year nationally & internationally in the wake of tourism.

Wildlife tourism is an esoteric, yet a very significant aspect of the tourism world. There might erupt one question that why would humans need to watch the wildlife, the historical standpoint might assist us in understanding that in a better way. Two generations back during the era of grand-parents, wild animals’ view was a regular activity as if it is a homely matter. Going back a century, we would observe only a 30% of the population existed. Wildlife was omnipresent all throughout the countryside with the flock of sheep blocking the roads, the birds covering the whole sky and fishes making it difficult to see the depth of the water.

The main intention for this research paper is to obtain realize the wildlife tourism and the activities related to it. Since an ancient era, people develop to show interest in the wildlife. In today’s world also, we would find the population residing in the hilly and mountainous regions depend upon the forest and their natural resources for several reasons to meet their needs. This piece of population is not interested in wildlife tourism rather they are inclined towards hunting of wild animals and birds. This research study will stratify the wildlife tourism, the drafting & commanding, insights about the wildlife conservation, the strife & discord of wildlife-humans, their impacts and making wildlife tourism sustainable.

The current market for wildlife tourism accounts for approximately $4 billion in the world and has job coverage of around 8% globally. The endowment of this tourism has increased considerably of all the countries to provide a thrust to the economy. Wildlife tourism claims to acquire a share of 13.6% of the global GDP in 2022.

On the other side, watching the wildlife can have some of the unpropitious repercussions such as changes in the behavior, change in the physiology and also damaging the habitats. The species resting in the forests are very much exposed to the intrusions during the breeding periods and also during the pubescent period of their offspring. Tourists are often more fascinated to watch mother groups and thus a great care and utmost control need to be exerted to restrict and sway any tourism around them.
