The holiday packages drawn up by SPORTS, while providing the tourist with a memorable
                    experience, protect the environment and do not upset the delicate balance between
                    man and nature. In recognition of the Lakshadweep Administration’s policy and the
                    projects of the SPORTS that helped to preserve the ecology of the island and create
                    environmental awareness while promoting tourism, SPORTS has been awarded the 'most
                    eco-friendly organisation' award of the Union Ministry of Tourism for the year 1996-97.
                    Due to dedicated efforts of the SPORTS Lakshadweep islands have gained popularity
                    as a unique tourist destination and as a haven for nature lovers. SPORTS is gearing
                    up to diversify in to what can be termed as fishery tourism wherein marine and fishery
                    resources around the islands will be woven in to tourism. Rich secular and cultural
                    heritage of the islands rarely seen elsewhere in the country will also be promoted.
