Seasonality, Pandemic Recovery Rate and Constructed Environment of Tourism Industries in North East India: A Case Study

In recent year, Northeast India emerges as pivotal for economic sustenance through the rapid development of tourism industries. This study analyzed seasonal variations in tourist flows, emphasizing the need for enhanced management strategies. It also explored how the constructed environment can serve as an effective approach to sustaining the region's tourism industry. Covid-19 impact on the region's tourism industries remains largely unexplored, lacking in-depth research to track the extent of the industries' decline and assess their recovery. To present an overview of the region's tourism industry, a descriptive methodology was employed in the case study. This involved collecting monthly data from each state's tourism department and analyzing it in relation to the study objectives. This study emphasizes the need for stakeholders to adopt a rational approach that aligns with both seasonal and off-season tourism trends, highlighting the constructed environment as a key strategy for managing and sustaining industry development. A key objective is to address logistical and investment perspectives often overlooked in previous research. By establishing strategic indices, the study underscores the necessity of informed policy formulation and investment confidence. It aims to enhance the practicality of tourism management by aligning development activities with tourist demands during both peak and off-season periods, ultimately fostering economic vitality. One of the key takeaways of the study is the suggestion to various stakeholders to be competent and conscientious in understanding tourist psychology, managing assets effectively during the peak season, and devising strategies to ensure the sustainable growth of tourism in Northeast India.
