Abstract
With the increasing popularity of the tourism industry, a significant rise and development of destination and managing crowds has always remained a challenge that contributed to global tourism costs rise and pressure on local resources. The concept of regenerative tourism focuses on promoting the concept of leaving behind something better than the present. Regenerative tourism supports the industry to be reborn and continuously renew itself avoiding human intervention. Regenerative tourism acknowledges co-existing natural and social environmental set-ups and is planned such that local land and people get back from whatever they have invested for tourism development. Channapatna, the toy town of Karnataka, may see a further glorious future if the concept of regenerative tourism can be applied in the region. The town lies in an already existing tourism circuit, and regenerative tourism would show new avenues of rural entrepreneurship opportunities. In lieu of this, the chapter discusses in detail the scope of skill development in the Channapatna region of Karnataka.
