Overall Project Description

1. The Infrastructure Development Investment Program for Tourism Financing Facility (the Facility) will

develop and improve basic urban infrastructure and services in the four participating states of Himachal

Pradesh, Punjab, Uttarakhand and Tamil Nadu—to support the tourism sector as a key driver for

economic growth. It will focus on: (i) strengthening connectivity to and among key tourist destinations;

(ii) improving basic urban infrastructure and services, such as water supply, road and public transport,

solid waste management and environmental improvement, at existing and emerging tourist destinations

to ensure urban amenities and safety for the visitors, and protect nature and culture-based attractions.

Physical infrastructure investments will be accompanied by: (iii) capacity building programs for

concerned sector agencies and local communities for better management of the tourist destinations and

for more active participation in the tourism-related economic activities, respectively.

2. The proposed Project targets enhanced economic growth and provision of livelihood opportunities for

local communities through tourism infrastructure development with a focus on preservation and

development of natural and cultural heritage and incidental services. The Project supports the state of

Uttarakhand to develop the tourism sector as a key driver for economic growth.

3. The Executing Agency (EA) for the Investment Program is Dept. of Tourism, Govt. of Uttarakhand. The

Loan Agreement and Project Agreement for the IDIPT, Uttarakhand is 3223-IND. Project

Implementation Unit have been established in three towns respectively (Dehradun, Bhimtal and

Policy Statement (2009). All the subprojects under execution have been categorized as category 'B'.

Environment Performance Indicators, if any:

6. For effective monitoring, selected environmental parameters have been identified as indicators which

may be qualitatively and quantitatively measured and compared over a period of time in order to

assess/ ensure the compliance to environmental management plans (EMPs). The environmental

performance indicators selected are physical, biological and social characteristics identified as most

important in affecting the environment at critical locations at all the sub projects. The parameters

identified as performance indicators are:
