Abstract

South Asia is an eye-catching and unique tourist destination for its rich history, heritage, cultural diversity, varied landscapes, vast natural resources, and scenic beauties. However, South Asia cannot establish a foothold in the tourism industry as the share of international tourist arrivals is reasonably low compared to other regions. The formation of the Regional Tourism Integration (RTI) can play a vital role in speeding up South Asia’s tourism industry by mobilising resources, increasing competition, enhancing efficiency, and reducing cost. Since the region shows similarity in various socio-economic and geographical aspects, the RTI can pave the way for developing an integrated tourism hub with cost-effective promotional programmes and a concrete marketing strategy for sustainable tourism development in South Asia.
