Abstract:
Sustainability means enduring capacity. It represents the toleration capacity of anything. Heritage tourism has become a buzz word now a days and governments are trying their best to improve the heritage tourism in historic places. But often we forget that developing heritage tourism comes with many challenges with respect to sustainability of the historic places itself. Development of tourism brings forth many challenges such as congestion, sudden increase in number of tourists visiting the historic place, increasing the tourist and resident ratio, can cause inflation, disturbance for local people, causing damage to the physical historic environment, wear and tear, increased number of tourist and rapid urbanization put lot of pressure on any historic destination. As tourism develops at heritage sites, serious damage may occur as a result of high tourist use, particularly at peak times. Tourist’s behaviour and their numbers may gradually destroy the resources. Therefore, apart from developing heritage tourism, sustainable tourism development must be concentrated in all historic places, which requires a sound destination development plan and destination vision. Because as it is observed by Aylin Orbasli “Tourism and tourist developments are greedy consumers of the natural environment and of culture. Once it has become a tourist attraction, a small or fragile monument is often surrounded and overwhelmed by sign boards, parking facilities, souvenir shops, restaurants or cafes. Although a monument may be safeguarded, the surrounding environment is often not. The pressures of tourism on historic towns are two fold; the impact on the historic fabric and it’s associated, comparatively fragile, environment, and pressures on the “living” urban environment. In the conservation and development process, not only do built and natural environments need to be safeguarded, but so do the communities which inhabit them. The historic town presents a great complexity of objective, and underlying tensions, where a delicate balance has to be sought between competing priorities, including between inside and outside, insider and outsider. Heritage management more frequently associated with historic monuments, takes on a notably different aspect in the urban situation, but the primary objective of enabling continuing appreciation of heritage and its safeguarding and continuity for future generations, however, remains the same.” Therefore, sustainable tourism must be given priority rather than unscrupulously developing heritage tourism and coming with visionless plans to develop historic tourist destinations. This paper attempts to list some of the major issue and challenges associated with sustainable tourism, with special reference to Srirangapatnam, a small Island formed by river Cauvery. This walled historic town has lot of potential for tourism, as this has many forts, temples, mosque, tomb of Tipu sultan and many historic events are connected to it and evidences of them could be traced even today
