ABSTRACT: The Covid-19 pandemic has adversely affected the tourism industry in India to a large degree. However, in economic recovery, lies the opportunity to conceptualize the re-development of the industry with principles of sustainability. Green architecture is already being implemented in several industries including the hospitality and transportation industry. The central and state governments have also prioritized sustainable tourism and initiated policy frameworks for the same. However, there remain areas for improvement in the spaces of investment and implementation of these policy frameworks. This paper examines the existing examples and measures pertaining to sustainable tourism and green infrastructure and undertakes a qualitative analysis of prominent sustainable and energy efficient architectural designs. The paper critically examines the shortcomings of the existing policy framework and suggests measures to improve implementation. The paper proposes the adoption of a more holistic approach to sustainable tourism to better incorporate sustainable practices across the supply chain, support small business and local communities, improve knowledge sharing and experiences for the tourists.
