This Consultancy is part of the program for the Ecotourism Development of Sagar Island, which is led by the Ministry of Tourism, State of West Bengal. Gangasagar is a sacred island in the delta of the river Ganges where Ganga Sagar Mela is celebrated annually, an event, which welcomes more than 500,000 pilgrims. The project involves the conceptualization, definition, and implementation of an eco-tourism strategy for integrating local people into tourism structures. The ecotourism strategy consists of three main components, institutional development, development of ecotourism products, and infrastructure development (including an interpretive center and museum, tourist offices, car parks, markets for artisans, etc.).
