While in the everyday news, we read, Tourists are sleeping in their vehicles due to lack of accommodations.
This is very encouraging. However, to make tourism sustainable government has to ensure collection of taxes so that it could be spent on maintaining the sites and building new infrastructure such as Upgrade of the Resorts, Putting up more trees alongside the roads, Cultural Shows and Events, Roads, Rest Houses, Markets, Security Apparatus etc. etc.
