Abstract
Tourism in India has evolved considerably during the last decade, and Bengal as a state has performed considerably well for the growth of tourism. Tourism in Bengal has not only contributed to the growth of the economy in the state of Bengal but has developed the state's remote area which has now turned into a key tourist spot. One such area is the region of Digha in the Purba Medinipur district of West Bengal, and it has turned out to be the most popular sea resort in West Bengal. The Digha Sankarpur Development Authority has taken key measures to develop tourism in Digha. The basic objective of this paper will be to determine the standard of living among the people of Digha who are associated with tourism after the various schemes to promote tourism by the state government. We have used ordinal regression analysis as most of our data were qualitative in nature and interpretation was done accordingly for the results obtained. Through our findings, we have tried to bring out the various problems associated with tourism in Digha along with the suggestions to improve it.
