Thesis Abstract / Summary:

Introduction Assam, as one of the prominent States of the North Eastern Region (NER) of India, has every scope of being the chosen destination of tourists because of its natural beauty, rich tourism products, ethnic diversity, and uncharted mysteries. Despite resource abundance, Assam is almost insignificant in the beneficiary list of Indian tourism industry.

The share of Assam tourism in the national tourism market fluctuates between 0.30% to 0.40% over the years. As indicated, limited is the level of development of tourism entrepreneurship in Assam, but much more limited is the availability of data on whatever entrepreneurship in tourism sector exists there. Whatsoever little information is available in this regard is rather sketchy and far from being systematic. As such, any serious attempt at drawing comprehensive plans for the development of tourism entrepreneurship in the State is hampered by the non-availability of systematic and comprehensive data on the subject. Then, currency and predilection is given to the popular sentiments and general assumptions without rigorous empirical investigations. Any strategy and programme based on such assumptions are bound to fail to stimulate the development of tourism entrepreneurship if the real conditions are found to be different. This is an area of academic as well as policy interest in which no empirical research work has so far been done especially tourism entrepreneurship in accommodation industry in Assam.

Few terms have been discussed and deliberated so much in the recent times as much tourism, tourism development, and tourism entrepreneurship. Like development in any other field, tourism development is also contextual. The present study, therefore, proposes to make a modest and pioneering contribution based on primary data on the emergence, performance, and problems of tourism entrepreneurship in accommodation industry in Assam, in particular, and the North-East India, in general.
