The purpose of this study is to investigate the tourism sector of Uttarakhand, the Northern Himalayan State of India, and offer prospective strategies for developing sustainable tourism business in the region. Besides in-depth interviews of the associated stakeholders, SWOT and QSPM analyses were performed to investigate the sector and to determine appropriate strategies. The study's findings reveal that the prevailing incongruous practices of tourism, unplanned developmental activities in the sector, and massive inflow of visitors in Uttarakhand are not compatible with the region's fragile ecology and the sustainability of the tourism business. Nevertheless, if the policymakers operate within the identified strategies, then Uttarakhand tourism's prevailing incongruous practices and massive inflow of visitors can transform into a sustainable business and developmental prospects.
