Due to its majestic natural beauty and natural resources, the tourism industry of Uttarakhand has the potential of creating sustainable livelihood options in the state which can put a curb on inter and intra state migration in the state. It also has the power to regenerate the hill economy where both primary and secondary sector fail to generate enough income and employment opportunities for the geographically tough terrain in which the hills of Uttarakhand are located. The paper attempts to analyze the tourism industry of Uttarakhand and provide solutions in ways in which the potential of the industry can be fully utilized. The SWOT analysis of the tourism sector of Uttarakhand has also been covered in the paper.
