GISand management planning for sustainable ecotourism development: a case study of Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India.

Effective integration of geospatial technology and management planning can significantly enhance sustainable ecotourism development, as demonstrated by a case study in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. The research highlights that GIS-based strategies improve visitor flow management, particularly in eco-fragile areas, while also contributing to employment generation, revenue growth, and the preservation of local culture and traditions. By mapping ecotourism hotspots using ArcGIS software and analyzing tourism patterns, the study underscores the potential for geospatial tools to optimize resource utilization and support long-term sustainability in tourism sectors. These findings suggest that collaborative efforts between governments and tourism stakeholders, combined with GIS-driven planning, can drive sustainable growth while mitigating environmental impacts.
