Eco-tourism in India

Growth of Eco-tourism in India and how this segment of concept-tourism can take its roots throughout India by conscious efforts of holidaymakers: a brief overview.

Eco tourism is growing in popularity and practice everywhere in the conscious world and India too, is making efforts for this concept-tourism to catch on by educating in-bound tourists and citizens about civic responsibility coupled with scientific findings that could lead to a better living environment for human, animal and plant species and a more beautiful, incredible India!

Sowing the seeds of social and ecological awareness: growth of eco-tourism in India
It began with raising awareness about local culture, wilderness adventure tour packages that raised consciousness about how to conduct lives in the lap of nature; then spread to actively volunteering time, money and physical efforts to protect and preserve Indian natural reserves and now there is a high degree of commitment from foreign and local tourists, due to personal growth and learning new ways to live on the planet. Thus, what began as a movement has now become nothing short of a celebration of life and India too is embracing the advantages of promoting the cause of Eco-tourism: traveling to destinations where the flora, fauna, and cultural heritage are the primary attractions!

Eco tourism in India has grown with the seeds of responsible tourism being sown by educating tourists through programs that talk about how to minimize the adverse effects of traditional tourism on the natural environment. A lot of credit for the growth of eco tourism in India goes to the united efforts of media initiatives, private travel agency contributions, coupled with NGO efforts and governmental eco-tourism awareness programs about eco-tourism etiquette when in India!

Is My vote important

In democratic nations, every eligible citizen is afforded one vote. What we do with that vote is entirely up to us, but armed with the knowledge that it is ours to do as we will, many of us tend to take this right seriously. There are those who think that their measly vote can't bring about any change, but I ask you: If we go to fight a war as an individual, sure, we probably won't make any difference, but when combined with others we form an army far stronger and more capable of making a difference, right?

It is with this knowledge that I was surprisingly offended when I heard a representative of a major presidential candidate rationalizing their defeat by saying that the voters assumed a victory and therefore chose to vote for another candidate who wouldn't normally get their vote, as sort of a sympathy vote. One can indeed make that arguement, and rationally convince a few that sympathy votes were cast by voters who would have otherwise voted for another candidate. The problem with this rationale is that during any early primary elections being held in any important state, such as New Hampshire, voters tend to speak their mind. With margins that are proving over and over again to be way too close, what makes you think that a voter would actually vote sympathetically for another candidate while pinning their hopes on the rest of the voters to bring their favorite candidate to victory? Many of us aren't idiots and even more aren't capable of thinking that deeply into the 'art of political war' that they would cast their vote in another direction because they knew their candidate was going to win.

A win is a win, and a loss is a loss. Don't be a sore loser, or a snubby winner. The people have spoken once again, and there is no reason to make any excuses as to your loss.
