What is Caravan Tourism?
Caravan tourism is a form of tourism that involves travelling in a vehicle that has living facilities, such as beds, kitchens, bathrooms, etc. You can park your caravan at designated sites and enjoy the surroundings at your own pace. Caravan tourism is popular in many countries, as it offers flexibility, convenience, and affordability.
Why Caravan Tourism in the Andamans?
The Andaman & Nicobar Island is known for its pristine beaches, natural islands, and vibrant culture. However, the place is also sensitive to tourism's environmental and social impacts. Therefore, the administration has decided to promote caravan tourism to balance tourism development and ecological conservation.
Caravan tourism will enable travel enthusiasts to experience the islands uniquely without harming the natural resources or disturbing the local communities. You can access remote and untouched areas and enjoy the islands' cultural and historical attractions.
How to Participate in Caravan Tourism Policy?
The administration has drafted a Caravan Tourism Policy, which outlines the guidelines, regulations, and practices for caravan tourism in the Andamans. The policy ensures that caravan tourism is conducted responsibly and sustainably, with minimal negative environmental and cultural impacts.
The policy is open for public review and feedback on the official website of the Directorate of Information, Publicity & Tourism. You can share your suggestions, comments, and inputs from August 12 to September 12, 2023. The administration welcomes inputs from all stakeholders, including tourists, tour operators, government departments, and local communities.
