    “I am the heart of the city and its people, the marker that defines Emaar’s ambition and Dubai’s shining dream.” Another line from the quote atop the Burj Khalifa. Exactly what the building was intended to be, a symbol, a marker, both of developer and city alike. The building was, according to United Arab Emirates’ Prime Minister, Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum, supposed to be a turning point for Dubai, a building that would ideally develop Dubai’s appeal to investors from abroad and establish Dubai as an international business center in the world.1 The head of research at UBS Dubai (a Swiss based bank) was quoted as saying “The Burj Khalifa will help Dubai stay in the limelight as the home to a global landmark.”2 Without a doubt, Emaar…

    I have different reasons for applying this program. One of the major reason is that at the beginning of the XXI century tourism started prospering sharply in Azerbaijan. Favorable natural and geographical conditions of Azerbaijan caused rapid development of tourism and additionally Azerbaijan started to host very serious international events. More than 100 tourism companies covering all regions of the republic are engaged in accommodation of foreign tourists and servicing local population with tourist services, and 149 hotels have been officially registered. Private treatment and resort centers with modern level were given for use in the regions suitable for tourism and recreation. The number of foreign tourists visited the republic growing rapidly. But the rapid development of tourism industry has led to a some negative impact on the environment, including the inefficient usage of natural resources.

    Tourism is one of the primary catalysts in generating sustainable livelihood in India. India’s vast rural diversity and heritage offers tremendous opportunity for rural tourism. The idea of rural tourism was born out of the need to provide first-hand experience of living in rural areas to the urban population and also as supplementary income for the local population. The Ministry of Tourism in its Outcome Budget for 2011-2012 has emphasized on the need of giving greater focus to rural tourism with the objective of creating employment, with specific emphasis on the upliftment of the status of women and to encourage local arts and handicraft. Rural tourism has the potential of carrying the additional burden of uplifting poverty and reducing migration towards urban areas. This research paper aims at studying the status of rural tourism in India, looking into some initiatives that have already been undertaken, both by the Ministry (The Choti Haldwani Project at the foothills of Nainital) and by organisations (NGO ViaDesh, Delhi and Himalayan Homestays, Ladakh) in different parts of India and the way forward. The paper concentrates on the following major areas:…
