One thing many do not know is that the ministry of tourism in India initially discussed the use of camper vans or RVs in India in 2009-10. Known as Caravan Tourism, the policy has detailed developmental and promotional requisites for the propagation of RVs for tourism. More interesting is the fact that while many states have toyed with the idea of RVs as a viable tourism product, success was elusive. Madhya Pradesh was the only state that managed to get the ground running with two ‘caravans’ in 2014 and they also won awards for the initiative.

And this brings about the question on how does one keep the carbon footprint in check? Many campers should find ways to try and minimise waste when using campers and organisations conducting camping tours should also think of ways to address this  A well thought out and researched plan of action can address this issue. Â
