Short summary
The paper proposes riparian tourism as a holistic and sustainable form of tourism that encompasses both consumptive and non-consumptive forms. It delves into creating a conceptual framework for riparian tourism, including cryo-tourism. This model centres around community ownership and stewardship, furthering robust institutional set-ups and active public-policy discourse.
