"REAL" TOURISM

During last month, I had  visited The Andaman Islands.
Truly an "isolated" heaven out there...
It had plenty of beaches, resorts, and vast oceans touching the horizon.
But today the topic is about how to actually promote the tourism and also how to take care of the place where you live in.
-> First point is about cleanliness. They had a firm rule about banning the use of plastic.. During my 10 day's trip, I haven't found a shop where they gave there goods in a plastic bags.. That's something which we lack in the main country. Also the other thing was that around beaches.. The only edible thing available were coconuts along with some bananas. Not even water bottles were kept for selling. That kept the beach tidy which made us feel like we are not in India but somewhere in Mauritius..
-> Trustworthy people. All the localities around were helpful, kind in behaviour, polite during conversation and wouldn't hesitate a bit while helping you.
They respected tourists. Also the boat drivers and all of others were very much cooperative.
-> Next is about the mentality of people.. They had a mentality that this is my country and I shouldn't do anything that deteriorates its quality. They were self motivated, they had a felling inside them that not to pollute the city.
All the roads were clean, no plastic, no garbage. Each shop had a garbage bin in front of them which would be cleaned on daily basis.
They wouldn't allow you to collect shells and corals from beaches(not even after bribing).
They wouldn't promote the tribal people as to give them theirs privacy.
I had visited almost majority of the tourist's places in India.. But never saw this kind of tourism.. If you have such enthusiasm towards your country, then there is no need to advertise it for tourism. People will willingly come to visit that place.
