More About These New Rules
The Ministry of Tourism is making adventure tourism not just thrilling, but safer and smarter. According to Travel Trade Journal, one cool step is the Responsible Adventure Tourism Guide Courses, run at regional offices with the Adventure Tour Operators Association of India (ATOAI). These courses train guides on safety, emergency response, and eco-friendly tourism, basically making sure your adventure is as safe as it is exciting.
Safety is a big deal, so the Ministry and ATOAI have also rolled out Adventure Safety Guidelines. Think of these as the rulebook for all adventure operators in India. Every State and Union Territory has received them and is encouraged to tweak its own safety rules to match.
States and Union Territories are keeping a close eye on adventure activities. Operators must follow the safety playbook and have the proper licenses. Authorities are on the lookout to make sure your adventure is fun without unnecessary risks.
With these steps, India is making sure adventure tourism is organised, exciting, and safe. From training guides to setting strict safety standards, the country is levelling up its adventure game—ready to welcome thrill-seekers from around the world.
