Journal Title: GeoJournal of Tourism and Geosites - Year 2019, Vol 24, Issue 1
Abstract
National Parks worldwide are natural heritages visited by millions of tourists with varying length of stay depending on the level of uniqueness in terms of scientific, historical, aesthetic, economic, recreational or educational values. Manas and Kaziranga are two ecotourism destinations of India located in the state of Assam, widely acknowledged for their universal values by UNESCO as world heritage sites. This paper is an attempt to make a comparison between the status of tourism in these two protected areas from the stand point of visitor satisfaction and overall sustainability aspects. A symbiosis between geotourism and wildlife tourism is the central goal. The study evaluates the exemplarity of the landforms with a focus on the paradigm shift in tourism planning and management of national parks.
