The purpose of this research paper is to analyze the potential for ecotourism development in wildlife sanctuaries across India. With India's focus on balancing conservation and economic development, ecotourism offers a sustainable solution that promotes ecological preservation while providing socio-economic benefits. This study examines the current distribution of wildlife sanctuaries in different regions of India and their potential for ecotourism, to identify strategies to foster responsible and inclusive growth. The significance of exploiting tourism opportunities within wildlife sanctuaries is explored by examining various aspects of ecotourism in India. However, there are challenges such as habitat degradation, wildlife disturbance, and infrastructure development that must be addressed to ensure successful ecotourism development in India. This paper provides recommendations to overcome these challenges and create conditions necessary for sustainable tourism development based on natural resources in wildlife sanctuary areas throughout India.
