Abstract: Tourism is an important part of India's economy, attracting millions of visitors each year and contributing significantly to economic growth. This research focuses on Uttarakhand's tourist industry, examining its economic impact and proposing sustainable development alternatives. It investigates tourism's contributions to GDP development, employment, and income creation, as well as its direct and indirect impacts on industries such as hospitality, transportation, and local businesses. Furthermore, the research assesses tourism's impact in fostering regional development and improving infrastructure. The research emphasizes tourism's significant economic impact to Uttarakhand, which employs over 6.5 lakh people and contributes more than 24% to the state's GDP. Despite its benefits, tourism has a number of problems, including seasonality, environmental concerns, and infrastructure limits. To address these issues, the report offers techniques for sustainable tourism, such as environmental conservation, cultural preservation, and community development. Finally, the research underlines the necessity of sustainable tourism practices in Uttarakhand for ensuring the industry's long-term survival while protecting natural and cultural assets. Balancing economic expansion with environmental and cultural preservation is critical to the region's long-term tourism development.
