  • Accessing Community Rights and Livelihood Through Tourism: a Community-Based Tourism Initiative in Kumirmari, Sundarban
    182 Chapter 10 Accessing Community Rights and Livelihood Through Tourism: A Community-Based Tourism Initiative in Kumirmari, Sundarban Aditi Chanchani Equitable Tourism Options (EQUATIONS), India Rajesh Ranjan Equitable Tourism Options (EQUATIONS), India ABSTRACT The Sundarbans is the mangrove forests of the Gangetic delta spread across parts of Bangladesh and India, with the majority lying in the former country. Over the past two decades, the people of the islands have been faced with growing restrictions on their access to the forests. They now look towards tourism as an alternative source of livelihood. Tourism is rapidly developing in the region since the beginning of the 21st century, and the area is popular among national and international tourists. However, the ill-effects of mainstream tourism on the local population are also visible here. This chapter traces the different phases of a community-based tourism initiative by the people of Kumirmari, an island in the Sunderbans. This alternative model of tourism aims to combine aspects of community involvement, ownership, governance, benefits, and empowerment, and support the local people in accessing their community and livelihood rights. INTRODUCTION The Sundarbans derives its name from the word Sundari, a species of the mangrove tree, thereby giving it its name ‘Forest of the Sundari Trees.’ The Sundarbans, created by the delta of the rivers – Hoogly, Meghna, and Brahmaputra and its innumerable tributaries, is the world’s largest mangrove ecosystem, spread across Bangladesh and India. Out of a total of 25,500 sq km, about 9630 sq km is located in India (Bera & Sahay, 2010). DOI: 10.4018/978-1-5225-5843-9.ch010 Copyright © 2019, IGI Global.

Cultivation, fishing, wood and honey collection all these traditional livelihood practices along with the unique ecology of this world heritage site are today severely under threat from intruding corporate interests. DISHA has been associated with the traditional coastal fishing communities of India in their struggle for conservation of livelihood and coastal waters. It has been a long felt need to develop some insights of the interests and impacts the corporate business have in Sundarban. This baseline study has been conducted on the basis of a review of existing statutes and published documents, interactions with concerned officials, survey and extensive discussions with local people – farmers, fishers, prawn seedling collectors, aquaculture owners, traders etc.
