Haryana is a Young state of Independent, formed in 1966, almost 18 years after Independence. Formerly it was a part of Punjab, a state situated in Indo-Gangetic plains. The state hardly has any natural or manmade wonder to boast off at tourism platform. But it has made a mark on tourism map of India with its ground-breaking tourism products and policies. This paper looks forward to analyze the policy framework adopted by the state from a socio-cultural and environmental point of view. Human activities have time and again altered the society,nature and environment for the worst. The human beings are an integral part of nature and lives in well guided and structured societies to survive and prosper, for better tomorrow a symbiotic relationship with the society and nature is a pre-requisite. Tourism being the fastest growing industry and involving products that are major part of mother nature, environment or our societies makes it mandatory to develop sustainably. Judiciously designed products and services can maximize the positive impact while minimizing the negative collision within the society and with the environment; off which humans themselves grow and flourish.
