Abstract
The tourism industry's growing GDP contribution highlights the need to assess its environmental impacts. Sustainable tourism, including ecotourism, regenerative tourism, and volunteer tourism, aims to mitigate negative effects. In Tamil Nadu, India, Sadhana Forest engages tourists in reforestation projects, emphasizing water conservation and community development. Sustainable tourism's economic, social, and environmental impacts are evident in initiatives like Sadhana Forest, where since 2003, over 5000 participants have engaged in hands-on learning and reforestation efforts. Through the philosophy of the “Gift Economy,” Sadhana Forest empowers volunteer tourists globally, fostering environmental education and stewardship. These practices not only enhance tourists' understanding of global environmental issues but also foster a sense of contribution to Sadhana Forest's revitalization.
