Tourist are flocking to the Jim Corbett National Park in Uttarakhand, days after the Supreme Court lifted the ban on tiger tourism, which was aimed at protecting the endangered big cats.
Deputy Director of the Corbett Tiger Reserve, C.K. Kavidayal, told reporters that the new guidelines of the Supreme Court would be implemented in the park within the next six months.
"The guidelines stated by the Supreme Court for the reopening are being installed and followed. The guidelines are to bring discipline and regulation in tiger tourism, formation of tourism zone, special courses for drivers of tourist vehicles, allowing green gypsies into the forest," said Kavidayal.
He informed that the national park staff is receiving massive requests for bookings in advance. "Tourists are enquiring about the national park's reopening and booking in large numbers. We are processing the requests and there is no shortage of arrangements," he said.
