B)
To ensure adequate funding for eco-tourism projects in the State
C)
Facilitate education, research, monitoring and evaluation of the ecotourism activities.
D)
To promote ecotourism to the mass.
The Mizoram Ecotourism Policy is designed to promote sustainable tourism that minimizes impact on the environment and maximizes benefits for local communities.
1. Option (a) is a core function: The Board is tasked with facilitating projects that align with the sustainability guidelines of the policy.
2. Option (b) is a core function: Ensuring funding and financial viability for these specialized projects is essential for the Board's operational success.
3. Option (c) is a core function: Ecotourism relies heavily on scientific monitoring, research, and education to ensure that the 'eco' aspect is maintained and not degraded by tourism.
4. Option (d) is incorrect because 'Mass Tourism' is the antithesis of 'Ecotourism'. Ecotourism focuses on low-impact, high-value, and controlled visitor numbers to preserve fragile ecosystems. Promoting it to the 'masses' (Mass Tourism) would lead to environmental degradation, overcrowding, and the destruction of the very natural assets the Board is meant to protect. Therefore, promoting ecotourism to the mass is NOT a function of the Board.
