Adventure tourism in Assam, particularly in its remote regions, presents both an opportunity and a challenge for socio-economic growth and infrastructural development. This paper explores the nexus between adventure tourism and infrastructure development in Assam’s less-developed, remote areas. Assam, a state blessed with diverse landscapes, rich culture, and biodiversity, is positioned as a growing destination for adventure tourism activities such as trekking, river rafting, and wildlife exploration. These regions, however, face challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, poor transportation networks, and insufficient facilities to cater to the growing tourist influx. This research investigates the potential of adventure tourism to drive infrastructure development in Assam’s rural and tribal areas. The paper examines the role of infrastructure—roads, transportation, and communication systems—in facilitating the growth of adventure tourism and the wider benefits that accrue to local economies and communities. Special focus is given to the development of remote areas, which often lack basic facilities but have rich natural and cultural resources. The study evaluates the opportunities for improving infrastructure through government initiatives, private investments, and community participation. The paper also highlights the barriers to development, such as environmental concerns, regulatory frameworks, and the need for sustainable practices in tourism development. Using a qualitative approach, the research draws on case studies from regions like Karbi Anglong, Dima Hasao, and other parts of Assam, where adventure tourism initiatives are either in progress or have been proposed. The socio-economic impact of these initiatives is analyzed through data on employment, income generation, and community empowerment. The study concludes with policy recommendations aimed at fostering sustainable development in these regions, ensuring that adventure tourism leads to both economic growth and environmental conservation.
