As you would accept my view that tourism sector is facing severe challenges in terms of development of infrastructure, satisfaction/experiences of tourists besides management of tourism destinations/resources. Among all, managing destinations has become a herculean task for the stakeholders to put everything in order. However, due to lack of awareness and negligence, the destinations are losing their appeal and invites major shock to the industry, tourists and people altogether. In view of this, Journal of Tourism is commissioned itself to devote this issue on destination management and invited research papers from various corners and based on its editorial experts recommendations, three research papers and two research notes have been finalized and incorporated in this issue. The first research paper titled “Techniques for working with sustainable tourism indicators at the local level” authored by González-Guerrero, G.; González Díaz, J.G.; Castañeda Martínez, T.; Valdez Pérez, M.E., shares the significance of sustaining the tourism attractions and its achieving methods through sustainability indicators. Also, they argue that the indicators should have sync with the interests of the local people. The second research paper titled “Research on the Green Destination Development Evaluation: a Low-carbon Perspective” authored by WANG LIN, ZHANG QIQI and ZHANG MU opines about the transformation from brown economy to green economy and its importance, its presence in the tourism sector in the name green destination. The paper also discusses the green destination, its management and operating styles with different layers of evaluation index system. The third paper titled “Making a job out of your passion: When sports people become entrepreneurs in the tourism industry” written by Philippe Terral and Fanny Dubois discusses about the skill set to be developed by the sports people to become tourism entrepreneurs of various levels. The first research note titled “Heritage Tourism and its determinants- An Empirical study in Himachal Pradesh” by Arun Sharma shares the heritage wealth of Himachal Pradesh state of India and its share in the state's tourism. He further studies about the factors related to heritage tourism and measures the impact of tourists in tourism in the destination. The second research note titled “Some Reflections On India's Outbound Tourism” authored by S.C. Bagri and A. Suresh Babu discusses about the growth of India's out bound tourism and shares about the intriguing factors for tourists and the countries of preference. I, on behalf of the family of Journal of Tourism feel happy to thank the editorial team for their valuable inputs and our readers for their continuous support and motivation in bringing up this issue successfully.

On the other, they can help to prevent relevance and understanding considerable impacts to the social, economic or environmental of such indicators by the local people takes importance spheres. One such mechanism is the use of sustainability within the context of indicators (Altieri, 2002; Fernandes& Wood house, 2008; decentralisation.

  • Himachal Pradesh in the Indian Himalaya
    Mountain Livelihoods in Transition: Constraints and Opportunities in Kinnaur, Western Himalaya By Aghaghia Rahimzadeh A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Science, Policy and Management in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Louise P. Fortmann, Chair Professor Nancy Lee Peluso Professor Isha Ray Professor Carolyn Finney Spring 2016 Mountain Livelihoods in Transition: Constraints and Opportunities in Kinnaur, Western Himalaya Copyright © 2016 By Aghaghia Rahimzadeh Abstract Mountain Livelihoods in Transition: Constraints and Opportunities in Kinnaur, Western Himalaya by Aghaghia Rahimzadeh Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Science, Policy and Management University of California, Berkeley Professor Louise P. Fortmann, Chair This dissertation investigates the transformation of the district of Kinnaur in the state of Himachal Pradesh in the Indian Himalaya. I examine Kinnauri adaptation to political, economic, environmental, and social events of the last seven decades, including state intervention, market integration, and climate change. Broadly, I examine drivers of change in Kinnaur, and the implications of these changes on social, cultural, political, and environmental dynamics of the district. Based on findings from 11 months of ethnographic field work, I argue that Kinnaur’s transformation and current economic prosperity have been chiefly induced by outside forces, creating a temporary landscape of opportunity. State-led interventions including land reform and a push to supplement subsistence agriculture with commercial horticulture initiated a significant agrarian transition beginning with India’s Independence. I provide detailed examination of the Nautor Land Rules of 1968 and the 1972 Himachel Pradesh Ceiling of Land Holding Act, and their repercussion on land allocation to landless Kinnauris.

  • Eco –Tourism and Its Development in Tribal Regions of Himachal Pradesh Mr
    IJA MH International Journal on Arts, Management and Humanities 3(1): 24-29(2014) ISSN No. (Online): 2319 – 5231 Eco –Tourism and its Development in Tribal Regions of Himachal Pradesh Mr. Pankaj Sharma and Mr. Ravi Parkash Department of Hotel and Tourism Management, Manav Bharti University, Solan , Himachal Pradesh (Corresponding author Pankaj Sharma) (Received 05 December, 2013 Accepted 20 February, 2014) ABSTRACT: The tribal areas of Himachal Pradesh are known for natural beauty. Eco tourists are often motivated by the chance to experience tribal culture, which can have a positive and affirming effect on that culture. Schemes like Home Stay started by Dept. of Tourism & Civil Aviation, Himachal Pradesh on the one hand saves the tribal areas from becoming concrete jungles and on the other gives a firsthand experience of tribal culture to the tourists. Moreover this also becomes a means of income generating activity for tribals. The tribal areas of Himachal such as Spiti, Kinnaur, Sangla, kalpa and Bharmour are all major tourist destinations today. The tribal population in Himachal Pradesh is about 11% of the total population i.e. 244587 lakh. These tribal include the Kinners or Kinnaure, the Lahules, the Spitians, the Pangwalas, the Gaddis and the Gujjars. However it is often said, tourism destroys tourism. It seems to be true in the case of the Sangla valley in Kinnaur, which is fast losing its scenic charm and tranquillity due to the unregulated growth of the tourism industry. New buildings are coming up in a haphazard way, as there is no plan for the development of the tourist destination.

    SET 93 - HIMACHAL PRADESH Information and Photography by Ronald M. Bernier, Professor of Art History, Department of Fine Arts, Campus Box 318, University of Colorado, Boulder, CO 80309. All slides ©AAAUM/Bernier These photographs were made as part of a research project that resulted in publication of Himalayan Towers - Temples and Palaces of Himachal Pradesh, New Delhi 110055, and they will be part of the forthcoming Himalayan Architecture, a pan-Himalayan study of architecture from the Assam foothills in the east to the heights of Pakistan's Hunza in the west. 9301. The remoteness of many unstudied villages in Himachal Pradesh is indicated by this settlement with bhandar temple storehouse in Simla District. 9302. Arki stands for traditions of the Indian plain, including Rajasthan, as they were borrowed in combination with Mughal patterns mountain kingdoms. 9303. The audience of the diwankhana or audience hall is on the upper floor of the small fortress at Arki, and its open balcony commands a fine view. The dry fresco paintings that are found on the Arki fortress walls and ceilings are lively, clear, and often have folk art directness while they also show an eagerness to borrow imported styles and illusionism. 9304. Arki battle scenes are especially fresh and lively as well as based in historical fact, with British forces appearing to be almost comical in their rigid battle formations. 9305. This floral design in the entry hall of the diwankhana is a brittle and bold variation upon Mughal patterns as it shows the band of a very local artist, no doubt. 9306.

    Artistic Narration: A Peer Reviewed Journal of Visual & Performing Art ISSN (P): 0976-7444 Vol. IV. , 2013 Hindu Art of Kangra Fort Dr. Jaspal Singh Associate Professor Department of Fine Art Govt. College, Hoshiarpur (Punjab)- 146001 [email protected] Kangra (32’ 54N and 76’ 15E), the glorious kingdom of history and the present district of the state Himachal Pradesh has a rich heritage of art and culture developed and flourished particularly in its vicinity. It was ruled over by the Katoch rajput dynasty from the ancient times as the great epic Mahabharta carries the reference of its founder king Susharma Chandra who had fought against the Pandavas in Mahabharta. The Pandavas named it after Bhima as Bhim Kot (fort of Bhima). However its rule remained dominated by Katoch dynasty. In 326 BC when Alexender the Great invaded Punjab a Katoch prince was ruling this region. Kangra once was a part of the ancient kingdom Trigarta which was formerly also known as Jalandhara. During Gupta period, in the time of Harsha, the known Buddhist pilgrim Huien Tsiang visited to Jalandhar (Jalandharayana - She-Lan-To-Lo) in 643 A.D. that time Trigarta had two main provinces, major one in the plains with headquarter at Jalandhar and next in the hills with headquarter at Nagrkot or Kot Kangra (The present Kangra). He talked about its social stature and life at its bests. Mahmood Ghaznavi after defeating Hindu kings at Lahore advanced towards Kangra. Mahmood looted loads of gold and silver wealth from the Kangra fort and temple. In 1337 Raja Rup Chand lost the fort to Mohd.

  • Socio-Economic Dimensions of Equine-Rearing in Himachal Pradesh
    Agricultural Economics Research Review Vol. 21 July-December 2008 pp 211-220 Socio-economic Dimensions of Equine-rearing in Himachal Pradesh S.K. Chauhan* Department of Agricultural Economics CSK Himachal Pradesh Agricultural University, Palampur - 176 062, Himachal Pradesh Abstract Since equines play an important role in the economy of Himachal Pradesh, this study has examined the growth trends in equine population and socio-economic characteristics of equine-rearers. The problems being faced have been identified and some policy recommendations have been made. It has been found that equine population had a compound growth rate of 2.57 per cent per annum during the period 1966-2003 and constituted about 1 per cent of the total livestock population in 2003. Amongst different constituents of equines, viz. horses, ponies, mules and donkeys, mules have shown the maximum rise in number. The contribution of equines has been assessed to be 40 per cent in the gross household income of rearers. A mule pair has been found to be highly profitable for load-carrying activities. Road links to the villages having modern means of transport have been perceived to be the greatest threat to equine-rearing activity, followed by its disliking by younger generations and non- availability of locally-bred mules. The study has emphasized on increased supply of Chamurthi horses through identification of additional local breeders by adopting systematic breeding policy, particularly in the Pin Valley of Spiti area. Keeping in view the demand for mules, their breeding should be undertaken at both public and at private levels so that local-bred mules become available at affordable prices.
