Visakhapatnam Initiatives Promote Sustainable Tourism and Local Conservation

Ahead of World Tourism Day, nature-based initiatives in Visakhapatnam and the Eastern Ghats are promoting slow tourism through low-impact experiences and local community participation.

Ecostays like Pravaham use local soil, hay, and bamboo for natural temperature regulation, while group trek organizers have reduced group sizes to protect fragile ecosystems.

The East Coast Conservation Team conducts tidepool walks limited to eight participants per instructor to introduce visitors to marine life while discouraging environmental disruption.
