Vision 5Limited land availability for developmentExcessive through traffic generated by highway (NH 21) generating high airpollution, noise and parking demand.Overcrowding of tourism facilities, commerce and local government functions inthe town centre.OpportunitiesTo integrate eco-tourism development.To harmonize growth needs of the town with its natural assets.To promote small scale non timber based industries within this region.ThreatsChanges in horticulture pattern and produce.Alarming growth of unplanned development.Poor disposal of waste on hilly terrain.Progressive erosion of environmentally vulnerable slope.The Regional Environmental Plan for Manali and its sub-region aims at remedyingthe above environmental problems through a series of differentiated moves. Theself regenerative capacity of Nature needs to be abetted by planned, long termmoves that will simultaneously deal with issues of agriculture and urban design.The final vision is that of a Manali whose growth is harmonized with its ownnatural assets. A sustainable urban system would also help realize the fullpotential of the human network within it. The key to spiritual health of a societylies in the intensity of its relationship with nature. Ensuring the conflict resolutionthat would be needed to diffuse the negative impact of tourism (high wastegeneration, high consumption of scarce resources like land and power etc.) on theinterests of the local environment and poorer sections of the population is aprimary goal of the vision document.
Vision 62 Regional Equity and dispersal of economic opportunitiesNew-magnetsof growthManali Agglomeration is nested in a network of smaller settlements with differinglevels of development. Each settlement has it's own strength either emanating fromits location, history or connectivity. Investment has a tendency to move to where itcan be recovered fast and this has led in the past, to a disproportionateaccumulation of wealth in Manali town, often depriving the adjoining settlementsof a fair share of their development. Much of the problems of overcrowding andstrained infrastructure that one finds in Manali town can also be eased by creatingnew magnets of growth within the Agglomeration as well as in the sub-region. Thestrategy towards this would be to create tourism assets in these regionalsettlements as well as by improving the connectivity to them. This will also induce abalanced economic growth in the economically depressed areas and create anetwork of healthy dependencies between the settlements that is mutuallybeneficial.Within a democratic framework, the autonomy of each settlement to choose thetourism asset that it would like to absorb should be ensured. A participative processled by Manali could involve the various Panchayats in the region in a dialogue. Thiswill ensure the ownership of projects by the local population and hence a moresustained up keep.Local economicgainThe wealth and opportunities thrown up by tourism are many fold and the tourismsector has the capacity to connect in an economic web, local assets to globalinvestments as well as the capacity to connect across the economic and spatialdivide. Revenue and resources generated from the huge consumption levels andconsequent trade that are characteristics of the tourism sector as well as theinnumerable service sector opportunities embedded in it should be trapped intothe local economy. This will ensure increased direct economic benefit to the localpopulation and bring the tourism industry largely into local control, while thewealth generated would remain in local hands, against the present flight of revenueto other states.The Himalayan region has long standing traditions of natural medicine andtreatment systems. This can be harnessed at the household level and atGovernment level to create a new dimension to Manali's tourism. Apart from a newwing on traditional / Tibetan medicine to the existing hospital complex, educationand training for local youth in traditional medicine is a distinct possibility.The Manali region is rich in fruit and vegetable cultivation and the town is a majorcenter for apple distribution. Agro-industries in the small scale sector as well asaddressing tourism based need for jams, pickles marmalade etc. Through householdbased cooperatives can be facilitated in the proposed Vision Document.Flatted factories at the N.H. level and small industry sites at the sub-regional levelcould help the agro industry sector find physical expression.
