Tourism planning involves considering all the tourism resources, organizations, markets and developing programmes. It also considers economic, social, cultural, ecological and environmental aspects of tourism development. Successful tourism planning and development means serving both tourists and also local residents. Planning tourism at all level is essential for achieving the tourism goals. The experience of many countries in the world has demonstrated that the planned approach to the development of tourism can bring benefits to any country in the long run without any adverse consequences. Only when it is not planned, it is likely to lead to environmental and social problems. The special characteristics of tourism sector make it particularly beneficial in terms of general economic development. Tourism like any other economic activity flourishes well when proper planning is done. Tourism planning should be included in the general economic and social planning. This coordinated approach will have a direct bearing on the success of the tourism industry. A proper planning of the physical, legal, financial, promotional, social and environmental aspects can help tourism development on a sustainable basis. Planning could be undertaken either at the national or at the regional level. The state of Karnataka was established in the year of 1956, under the States Reorganization Act.

As per the information of district statistical office, Mandya, sriranga Patna taluk most popular in the event of tourist place. Especially Krishna Raja Sagar, more than one lakh people are visited daily. In this regard I have purposefully selected KRS for Research survey.

The data analysis carried out by using Simple statistical methods like Annual Growth Rate, Compound Growth Rate, Percentage and average as these are help us to understand the importance of tourism sector in study area. Mandya District Profile at a Glance: Earlier Mandya was a part of Mysuru district, was ably administered by a band of Dewan, who had exceptional political calibre and administrative skills. As a result Mysuru achieved the status of being “Model state” in Indian administration set up. The enlightened Maharajas of Mysuru always aimed and promoted progressive reforms of the state which even influenced Mandya district. Mysuru district was composed of 13 taluks and one Jagir in 1930.There were 3 subdivisions Nanjangud,Chamarajanagara, Gundalpet, T. Narsipura taluks formed the Nanjangud subdivision and Mysore, Hunsur, Heggadaevan Kote and Yedatore taluks formed, Srirangapatna sub division, Mandya, Malavalli, Nagamangala and Krishnarajpet formed the French Rock subdivision. After the construction of Krishna raja Sagar dam, the importance of the area now comprising the Mandya district grew and in order to facilitate the acquisition of land in connection with the Irwin canal [now Vishwesshwararah canal] the resettlement of the newly irrigated tracts a new revenue subdivision was constituted in1928 with Mandya as its headquarters. The Maddur taluk was merged with Mandya taluk with effect from 1st May 1931. The Hirode Melukote and chinkurli Hoblies were included in Srirangapatna taluk. The Government finally decided in 1939 to be the Mysure district and to constitute, with effect from 1st July 1939, a new district to be known as Mandya district with headquarters at Mandya. The present Mandya district came into being as a separate administration district with effect from 1st July1939 as the ninth district in the old Mysuru State.

As highlighted in the UN WTO 2013 report, Tourism can account for 9% of GDP (direct, indirect and induced), 1 in 11 jobs and 6% of world exports. We are all aware of amazing tourist experiences globally and the impact of the sector on the economy of countries. Karnataka needs to think big, think like a Nation-State if it is to forge ahead to realise its immense tourism potential. The State is blessed with natural and historical advantage, which coupled with a strong arts and culture ethos, can be leveraged to great advantage. If Karnataka can get its Tourism strategy (and brand promise) right and focus on promotion and excellence in providing a wholesome tourist experience, we believe that it can be among the best destinations in the world. The impact on job creation (we estimate 4.3 million over the next decade) and economic gain (Rs. 85,000 crores) is reason enough for us to pay serious attention to focus on the Tourism sector. The Government of Karnataka had set up a Tourism Vision group in Oct 2013 consisting of eminent citizens and domain specialists to advise the government on the way ahead for the Tourism sector. In this exercise, we had active cooperation from the Hon. Minister of Tourism, Mr. R.V. Deshpande; Tourism Secretary, Mr. Arvind Jadhav; Tourism Director, Ms. Satyavathi and their team. The Vision group of over 50 individuals met jointly in over 7 sessions during Oct-Dec 2013.

The potential and performance of the tourism industry in the state of Karnataka, needs to be gauged in terms of its socio-economic magnitudes. The present study focuses on the need for developing a Tourism Satellite Account (TSA) framework, which enables estimating or arriving at tourism activity impact on the state economy and its people, because tourism does not exist as a distinct sector, but happens across several sectors. The TSA framework separates out all tourism-related activity within gross state products (GSP). World Tourism Organization developed this framework and so far, over 75 counties have either initiated or completed implementation of this framework. In 2006, India has published the first National Tourism Satellite Accounts. Efforts are being made to understand the need for adapting the sub-national level TSA for the state of Karnataka with discussions on the TSA conceptual framework and the present situation around the globe as well as in the sub-continent, followed by the findings and recommendations. * Mahesh Kumar V, Guest Faculty, Department of Commerce, Bangalore University, Bangalore; [email protected] 41 Mahesh Kumar ISSN 0975-3281 Keywords: Measuring tourism impact; Tourism satellite accounts, Karnataka–TSA (Kar-TSA); Need for sub-national TSA.

Therefore, in the development of the tourism sector, the role of states in the democratic set-up of India needs to be recognized. Tourism creates thousands of jobs and benefits the entire community.
