| Title: | The Impacts of Tourism on the Environment of Mussoorie, Garhwal Himalaya, India | | Author: | Sapna Madan And Laxmi Rawat | | Publication: | The Environmentalist / Springer Science | | Enumeration: | Vol. 20, No. 3 pp. 249 - 255 | | Abstract: | Mussoorie, a hill resort in the Garhwal Himalaya reveals the changing trends and impacts of tourist activity on its environment. This study was carried out during 1993–1994 and it showed that while Mussoorie had a permanent residential population of 25400 during the winter months, in the peak tourist season of May and June the population exceeded 200000 per month. Because of this huge influx of tourists the demand for lodges/hotels and other related infra-structure and super-structure facilities and amenities in the area was enormous, and it imposed a great stress on the natural environment.
