Abstract
The purpose of tourism complex planning (TCP) is to develop tourism resources and the activities linked with them keeping in view the location, activities, linkages, scale and emergent and emerging trends of societal tastes and demands. TCP aims at not only making the tourism pay optimally but also that it generates an environmentally more healthy society. Its purpose is not to commercialise tourism resources but to see that genuine commerce develops to support an environmentally sound tourism development policy. This paper attempts to seek these goals by building a workable model of Tourism Complex Planning for Karnataka.
