Advertisements
Solution
- The unplanned and unchecked growth of tourist centres deprives the tourists of the original charm and ultimately proves disastrous. e.g., Darjeeling, Mussoorie, Shimla.
- The area around a tourist spot is covered by commercial constructions and even by industries. Such unplanned growth tarnishes the image of the concerned spot. e.g., the Meenakshi Temple at Madurai, the Palace of Udaipur in Rajasthan.
