Sudipta Mukherjee

Abstract :

Tourism industry is being multi – dimentional, and it has a multiplier effect which actually includes all the sectors. Being the world fastest growing industry, tourism requires proper scientific planning which can be developed throgh the implementation of Remote Sensing (RS) and Geograohic Information System (GIS). If RS and GIS technology is adopted to develop scientific planning in tourism, the success story will be different. The tourism related activity is related to space and therefore it can be modelled in RS and GIS environment. Using these technology, we can generate more authentic information for tourism industry like creation of geoportal, fetching new destination etc. It will facilitate the tourism development, advertisement and promotion. A new horizon will be opened in the the field of tourism industry in India
