The need for tourism legislation has been increasingly gaining importance in our country and Sikkim is not exception to that. Though the state is one of the cleanest destinations in India with naive natural beauties, yet several adverse environmental, socio-cultural and industry-oriented problems are coming to light. Concentration of tourist traffic in a very few destinations, poor architectural design, poor land use planning, loss of degree of freedom of hosts to attractions and other civic amenities, etc. are the problems resulting from tourism along with the conventional environmental threats such as landslides, changes in flora and faunal species composition etc. this article is distinct in that it is identifying and explaining the relationship between tourism legislation and infrastructure and superstructure. An opinion survey was conducted by considering the extent of legislation and the level of development in Sikkim.
