The holiday packages drawn up by
SPORTS, while providing the tourist with a memorable experience, protect the
environment and do not upset the delicate balance between man and nature. In
recognition of the Lakshadweep Administration’s policy and the projects of the
SPORTS that helped to preserve the ecology of the island and create
environmental awareness while promoting tourism, SPORTS has been awarded the
'most eco-friendly organisation' award of the Union Ministry of Tourism for the
year 1996-97. Due to dedicated efforts of the SPORTS Lakshadweep islands have
gained popularity as a unique tourist destination and as a haven for nature
lovers. SPORTS is gearing up to diversify in to what can be termed as fishery
tourism wherein marine and fishery resources around the islands will be woven in
to tourism. Rich secular and cultural heritage of the islands rarely seen
elsewhere in the country will also be promoted. |
