In fact, no study have so far been thrown light upon the sustainable practices of a popular tourism prepared state in North East India. The indicators used this study were adopted from Sustainable Tourism manual brought out by world bodies like UNWTO, WTTC etc. from time to time. The study incorporates both primary and secondary data to arrive at conclusions. Each of the chapter from chapter three onwards were a good mixture of both primary and secondary information relevant in this field of study.
