This research delves into the realm of sustainable tourism in Shimla, India, exploring the awareness and perceptions of tourists regarding sustainable practices. Amidst the increasing influx of tourists, Shimla, a serene hill station in Himachal Pradesh, faces challenges in preserving its delicate ecosystem while meeting the desires of visitors. Utilizing a structured questionnaire aligned with the recognized dimensions of sustainable tourism by UNWTO and UNEP (2005), insights from 50 tourists were garnered. The data reveals a notable gender disparity, a predominant young to middle-aged demographic, and a moderate level of awareness regarding sustainable tourism practices among respondents. It also encapsulates the tourists' spending behaviour and their brief stays, potentially highlighting a transient engagement with the locale. Diving into sustainable tourism perception, a multifaceted image emerges, reflecting a balance of economic viability, local prosperity, and employment opportunities juxtaposed with areas demanding attention like environmental purity and biological diversity. The analysis presents a comprehensive tourist perspective on sustainable tourism practices in Shimla, offering a robust foundation for future policy formulation and sustainable tourism development initiatives. By unveiling the varying levels of awareness and engagement in sustainable tourism activities among tourists, this study accentuates the need for targeted educational campaigns and collaborative approaches to foster a sustainable tourism paradigm in Shimla, contributing to balanced and sustainable growth in the region.
