Abstract :
In both India and globally, all three sectors
play pivotal roles in GDP production. The service sector,
among them, has exhibited notable growth in recent
years. An integral segment within the service and
industrial domains is the tourism industry, which has
flourished over an extended period, presenting ample
opportunities for related sectors. India's economic
advancement has significantly benefited from its thriving
tourism industry, which attracts a substantial influx of
domestic and international travelers for both business
and leisure purposes. Beyond contributing to the revenue
of towns and nations, tourism fosters local employment
opportunities and showcases India's rich heritage sites,
festivals, and natural landscapes, all of which are highly
esteemed by visitors.
For numerous years, natural and human-induced
disasters have adversely impacted the nation's tourism
sector. People bear the brunt of these calamities,
experiencing severe disruptions in their social and
economic lives. The states of Uttarakhand and Himachal
Pradesh, known for their vibrant tourism industry, fall
within India's disaster-prone zones. A robust economy is
vital for the tourism sector, which is relatively
susceptible to fluctuations, to flourish. The response of
the tourism industry to such disasters underscores its
vulnerability to abrupt changes in the local economy.
This thesis underscores prior research indicating
that both natural and human-induced disasters can
detrimentally affect employment within the tourism
sector. Focusing predominantly on economic
ramifications, the paper delves into disasters occurring
over the past two decades, with particular emphasis on
the significant impact of the 2023 floods in Himachal
Pradesh, which reverberated across northern India.
Seniors' exposure, sensitivity, and capacities when
combined with potentially dangerous situations might
severely impair their ability to function normally. It
affects people in a socioeconomic, psychological, and
physical way. The Depending on their age group, the
disaster's impact could be different in degree.
