  • Issues Pertaining to Successful Rural Tourism in the Malda District of West Bengal
    International Journal of Engineering Technology Science and Research IJETSR www.ijetsr.com ISSN 2394 – 3386 Volume 4, Issue 9 September 2017 Issues Pertaining to Successful Rural Tourism in the Malda District of West Bengal. Dr. Monirul Islam Assistant Professor Department of Business Administration Aligarh Muslim University, Murshidabad Centre ABSTRACT On account of the green revolution in India, the rural areas are consuming a large quantity of industrial and urban manufactured products. In this context, a special marketing strategy namely, rural marketing has taken shape. Sometimes, rural marketing is confused with agricultural marketing – the later denotes marketing of produce of the rural areas to the urban consumers or industrial consumers, whereas rural marketing involves delivering manufactured or processed inputs or services to rural producers or consumers. Also, when we consider the scenario of India and China, there is a picture that comes out, huge market for the developed products as well as the labor support. Rural tourism or tourism in rural areas is a new form of activity that can bring economic and social benefits to the society. In Asia especially in India, rural tourism in its true form is relatively new. This study identifies West Bengal, a Province in Eastern India; to explore the possibilities of the issues of growth of rural tourism that could play an important role in sustainable development of rural societies. The paper discusses on the socio-economic condition in rural West Bengal and throws light on a few potential rural tourism sites in this part of the state. The rationale behind selection of these potential rural tourism sites has been explained through brief descriptions of each of those sites.

Corresponding Author's E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Cultural Heritage Tourism means any form of tourism that showcases the present and past lifestyle, art, culture and heritage of the people associated with the concerned location (Hawkes & Kwortnik, 2006). Cultural Heritage Tourism in West Bengal aims to recognize the importance of the cultural heritage products for continuity of culture and the balance within cultures. It generates local employment and business both directly and indirectly in the tourism sector and in various support and resource management sectors. The tourism sector is considered as an important vehicle for socio economic development of the concerned communities. The tourism sector stimulates improvements to local transportation, communication and other basic community infrastructures of West Bengal. This state is one of the important destination states in India for cultural heritage tourism for domestic and international tourists alike. Almost all districts of this state are replete with heritage products. This paper provides a theoretical framework for cultural heritage tourism development in West Bengal and their associated issues and concerns. The main objective of this research is to promote West Bengal as a preferred destination for visitors and provide the business of cultural heritage tourism with the desired opportunities that have every potential to improve the economy of the concerned people and thereby generate revenue for the State as well. The success of cultural heritage tourism depends on the ability of the destinations to engage in sustainable use and conservation of vital resources.

This movement is temporary and is motivated by a host of factors. Tourism is extremely diverse in nature involving economic, social and physical values; their inter'-relationship with each other and with the subsystems within each category. It is dominated by changing ideas and attitudes of its customers and must be prepared to show ·a much greater degree of sensivity and willingness to adjust to new conditions than it has in the past. Being a part of Recreational geography, tourism is an integral part of Applied, geqgraphy because the application of geographical methods like survey, investigation, analysis and representation- all are largely touched by tourism activity. Again based· on these criteria the status of tourism of a region can be evaluated and thus a future trend can be determined. The development of tourism has crossed a long path of evolution . At the dawn of its blossom, tourism was un conscious, indeterminate and snail­ slow but with the advancement of civilization it began to expand. The Renaissance is an important landmark in the history of tourism. In the Nineteenth century the improved transport system, industrialization, 292 urbanization, affluence and a new philosophy for holiday malcing opened the door of 'Modem Tourism'.
