India is set to redefine its tourism landscape with the “One Island, One Resort” policy, a visionary step toward unlocking the potential of its unexplored islands. This initiative aims to develop individual islands as exclusive luxury destinations, offering travelers privacy and sustainable tourism experiences.
Under this policy, select islands in the Andaman & Nicobar and Lakshadweep archipelagos will host one resort per island. The approach emphasizes eco-friendly development, ensuring minimal environmental impact while delivering world-class hospitality.
These islands, known for their pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant marine life, will now serve as idyllic getaways for domestic and international travelers seeking luxury in harmony with nature. Activities such as snorkeling, diving, and eco-tours will complement the resorts’ offerings, creating a holistic travel experience.
The policy also aligns with India’s vision of promoting sustainable tourism while supporting local economies and biodiversity conservation. By balancing development with environmental preservation, it sets a benchmark for responsible tourism practices.
As these islands open up for tourism, they are expected to attract high-value travelers, elevate India’s global tourism profile, and generate significant economic benefits, positioning India as a leader in sustainable island tourism.
