A new kind of tourism –National Highway Tourism?
?
1. Does this kind of tourism has any potentials in future .We have seen jungles,temples,beaches ,lakes but if we stop near a small lake with full of migratory birds while travelling National Highway by car ,spend a night in a tent ,cook food or carry cooked food
2. India has now well network of National Highway and will improve with in 5 years time .We have to build some kind of hotel or Dhaba infrastructures in a remote place of National Highway which is at least 40 to 50 km from nearest town ,having some Flora and fauna
1. I believe a lot of people who travel long distances in highways do stop over to watch and appreciate nature . Maybe not to the extent of putting up tents or cooking food in those remote areas . A few "highway tourist spots" could be created , and tourist buses can be deployed . Having just a few spots would make it easier to clean up , and it would be more economical and organised . "The bull" has raised a valid point . However , I believe you are limiting your question to those who travel a lot , regardless of toll fees . Again , as I mentioned earlier , tourist buses can possibly reduce the burden of tolls .
2. There are many highway dhabas . those which close down , do so because of lack of business .
Putting up dhabas in the middle of nowhere is not feasible unless they are govt owned .
Overall , I am against your idea because it could spoil nature . You seem to be a nature lover , and I believe you understand the potential harm unchecked tourism could do to nature . Also , even if people are hired to clean up , or if tourists are sensitised , the scale is way too big for any conservation to be possible . The highway road length in India is one of the largest in the world , and conservation of "highway tourist spots" could be next to impossible . Like I mentioned earlier , creating just a handful of such spots could be the ideal solution .
btw , asking the same question several times is not allowed in Y!A .

It worked in the United States from about 1950 through 1990’s, up until the time when you had to take out a loan to buy gas to go on vacation.

Any potential ???
Saheb, In India, if you travel by car you are the most "targetted" person by the way of paying "Toll Tax" foir every 100 KMs. For example, if you travel by car on a National Highway from Chennai to Bangalore, you have to pay Toll Taxes atleast in 5 places, which itself works out to a total of Rs.250/- (the money thus collected, is going to the Construction Compay which has laid the road and not to the Govt).
Who cares for a well facilitied Dhaba or Motel on the side of Highways, leave alone "flora & fauna ???
