PROJECT : EAST HIMALAYA BIRDING PROGRAMME

(Project undertaken by : Association for Conservation & Tourism)

India: Birding North Bengal & Sikkim (6 - 24 November 2003)

Result

The flow of foreign traffic to this region. Region is negligible considering the rich natural and cultural diversity. The infrastructure would grow when there is a regular demand. The infrastructure available now would satisfy bird watching tourists who would also experience the other tourism products of the region and be the campaigners for the region. This would help to attract tourists with other interest. If the whole exercise can be carried out for a period of two years the foreign traffic flow to this region will certainly double.
