The Mizoram Ecotourism Policy 2017 is designed to create a framework for sustainable tourism that balances environmental conservation with socio-economic development. The primary objectives of the policy focus on the foundational and developmental stages of ecotourism:
1. Identifying potential sites (Option a) to ensure that only ecologically suitable areas are developed.
2. Promoting the concept of ecotourism (Option b) to raise awareness among stakeholders and tourists.
3. Developing the necessary infrastructure and management systems (Option c) to make these sites accessible and sustainable.
While 'Marketing' is a general function of the Tourism Department, the specific 'Objectives' section of the Ecotourism Policy 2017 emphasizes the identification, promotion, and development of ecotourism assets rather than the commercial marketing strategies, which usually fall under the broader Tourism Policy or specific marketing plans. Therefore, 'Market ecotourism in Mizoram' is the odd one out among the core policy objectives.

1. Option (a) is correct because the policy aims to promote the state's rich cultural and natural heritage, ensuring that tourists understand the value of these sites through recreation and education.
2. Option (b) is correct as it represents the core pillar of 'Eco-Tourism'. The primary objective is to conserve biodiversity and wildlife while simultaneously creating sustainable livelihoods and employment opportunities for the local community (Community-Based Tourism).
3. Option (c) is correct because the policy emphasizes maintaining the integrity of ecosystem functioning (preventing degradation) while fostering socio-economic development for the rural population of Mizoram.

According to the Mizoram Registration of Tourism Trade Act 2020 the definition of hotel do not include
A)
Hotel
B)
Homestay
C)
Resort
D)
Motel
Under the Mizoram Registration of Tourism Trade Act 2020, the definition of 'Hotel' is structured to include various types of commercial lodging establishments. Typically, in the context of this Act, 'Hotel' serves as an umbrella term that encompasses commercial entities such as Hotels, Resorts, and Motels, which are operated for profit and provide standardized commercial services. However, a 'Homestay' is categorized as a distinct entity under the Act. A Homestay is defined as a form of tourism where the guest stays in the home of the host, focusing on cultural exchange and a domestic environment rather than a purely commercial hotel operation. Therefore, while Homestays are part of the 'Tourism Trade' and must be registered, they are legally distinguished from the definition of a 'Hotel'.
