I hope the Rari weaving (spelling?) will survive the change overs. In the 60s we made some capes and smashing boots with it at the cottage industries in Gangtok, but much better if it can remain a genuine household industry.

Ecotourism is often touted as a way of promoting sustainable development.

However it is a double edged sword, as we see in the article. Esp when we pursue short term benefits without considering long term impacts

Need to develop a multistakehokder perspective for ecotourism to succeed.

Loved the accompanying photographs! They add so much to the texture of the text.
