Abstract:
This paper is an attempt to understand the context of tourism at Nijhum Dwip (Chawr Osman). Data collected through site visits and literary sources are put forward here to analyse the site and its surroundings. The aim of the study is to help design a Tourist Lodge at a 47 acres site along the south western edge of the island. The primary concern of investigation are (i) the Keora Forest (National Park), (ii) the local human living pattern and the surrounding ecosystem, and (iii) the site’s vulnerability to Tropical Cyclones.
It is expected that these collection of data and its analysis will contribute to develop a suitable set of program and the capacity of the envisaged Tourist Lodge.
