About Us
Ecotourism Society of India (ESOI) has been formed by a group of eminent professionals from the tourism industry as well as Environmentalists under the advice of Ministry of Tourism in 2008 as a non-profit organisation to promote environmentally responsible and sustainable practices in the tourism industry across the country. The Society has been registered under the Societies Act XXI, 1860, under Regn.No.S/61047/2008. All founding members and office bearers contribute their time and efforts with passion, without any financial reward from the Society. ESOI works closely with Central and State Government bodies responsible for Sustainable Tourism, as well as network with like-minded regional / State players across the country to facilitate and support synergy of policies, initiatives and activities at the national and State level.
The Ministry of Tourism, Government of India has officially declared ESOI as their partner in helping them develop policy guidelines, code of conduct and ethical practices for Sustainable Tourism, to position India as a Global eco-tourism destination.
Sustainability Practices
The Society had initiated efforts to spread awareness and educate tourism service providers as well as local govt. officials on the urgent need to ensure perpetually sustainable tourism practices. Towards this objective, the Society launched its series of workshops on Environmental Law and Tourism in September 2008 in Delhi.
The Society has conducted over 11 two-day workshops across various States in India in the past 3 years, in partnership with respective State Governments, with the theme ' Practising Responsible Tourism', 'Man-Animal Conflict', etc.
ESOI is also part of the Core Committee set by the Ministry of Tourism, Government of India, to establish guidelines on 'Sustainable Tourism Critieria for India (STCI)' alongwith other stakeholders.
