Answer is Wrong!
Answer is Right!
The correct answer is: d) All of the above
Sikkim’s permit system for certain areas aims to:
- Restrict the number of tourists to protect the environment and ensure that the local people are not overwhelmed by tourism.
- Protect sensitive ecosystems by limiting access to areas that are particularly vulnerable to damage from human activity.
- Generate revenue for conservation by charging tourists a fee to visit these areas. This revenue can be used to fund conservation efforts, such as protecting endangered species and restoring degraded ecosystems.
The permit system is a way of managing tourism in Sikkim in a sustainable way. It helps to ensure that the benefits of tourism are shared by the local people, while also protecting the environment.
