A Psychological Approach to Promote Climate Change and Sustainable Economic Development Using Information and Communication based Application

Abstract

Background: This study aims to evaluate the current condition of ecotourism in North India in light of the effects of climate change, balance the benefits and drawbacks of implementing more eco-friendly regulations, and highlight innovative new strategies. To find areas of unresolved study and possible future research topics, three papers were evaluated. In this research, the management of ecotourism was examined from the standpoint of a specific place in relation to the use of information and communication technology (ICT). It underlines the opportunity for destination management to utilise ICT to promote sustainable tourism development and offers a summary of a number of ICT-based tools and applications that might be used by destination managers.

Method: The study involves the collection of primary data through a survey of 125 tourists in North India.

Conclusion: There is awareness among the majority of respondents that sustainable tourism practices can mitigate the impact of climate change in the region. There is a clear need for further education and awareness-raising initiatives to decrease the effects of climate change via sustainable tourism, although respondents demonstrated knowledge with current trends and best practises in green tourism. The survey also revealed different priorities&interests among stakeholders in implementing sustainable tourism practices.
