Aut Aut Research Journal ISSN NO: 0005-0601 A framework for implementation of Green Marketing towards Sustainability in Eco-Tourism Destinations of Odisha Dr. Shwetasaibal Samanta Sahoo 1 Mr. Mukunda B G 2 The tourism industry has evolved into a formidable and dynamic sector that legitimizes a systemic approach to its structure and development. Its impact and influences as a social and economic force has been registered in various ways, especially, in the context of environment and sustainability discourse. There is ample evidence of positive and negative environmental impact of tourism, as well as, influencing the process and objectives of sustainable development. The ―sustainability‖ concept has been embedded in tourism industry‘s dynamism in order to reduce the negative environmental impact of so called the number one industry in the world. Numerous mechanisms and planning techniques have been developed and designed to address these issues. Green marketing has gained greatest importance in the modern market. It is one of the most important concerns of competitive destinations as it considerably influences the tourists‘ choice of a destination, the consumption of products and services there and the decision to visit the destination in future. Green marketing is the process of producing goods and services to satisfy the customers who prefer products of good quality, performance and convenience at affordable prices, which at the same time do not have detrimental impact on the environment. Tourism entrepreneurs are considered as architects of tourism development and consequently contribute to sustainable tourism. Therefore, it is there corporate social responsibility to remove the negative image of tourism and alleviate negative impacts of tourism particularly environmental degradation. -

Chapter I 1.1
Annual Report 2005-06 Chapter I 1.1. Introduction Orissa is located between 17.31 degree to 20.31 degree North latitude, 81.31 degree East longitude covering an area of 1,56,000 Sq. Km. The Bay of Bengal forms the eastern boundary of the State having a coast line of nearly 480 Kms. Basing on morphological peculiarities, geological, climatic and edaptic conditions the State is broadly divided into five natural regions. i) Coastal Plains ii) River valley and Flood plains iii) Rolling uplands iv) Plateau v) Mountains. Most of the people of Orissa depend on agriculture, which is mainly rainfed and depends on monsoon. Though an early monsoon shower heals the pain of hot summer, it is often a mixed blessing for the people. Scanty rainfall causes drought, and heavy precipitation brings floods in the river systems. Since the devastating experience of Super Cyclone, 1999 the State had encountered several floods, and that experience has forced the Govt. to review their strategy and preparedness to overcome such situations. To mitigate natural disasters, several steps have been taken to enhance the capacity of the State and the community for combating such disasters. Generally, seven types of natural calamities occur in the state. The calamities are – 1. Floods / Heavy rain 2. Cyclones 3. Droughts 4. Fire accidents / Lightning 5. Boat accidents 1 Special Relief, Govt. of Orissa Annual Report 2005-06 6. Hailstorms and whirlwind 7. Heat wave During 2005-06, the state had encountered the following types of calamities. 1. Floods & Heavy rain 2. Cyclones (Saline inundation due to Storm Surge) 3. -
