The small alpine land Sikkim is the most popularly known destination for its unexploited, naïve hill stations, salubrious weather and rich culture. This small, hidden land has a wide range of differences with respect to its physiography, drainage system, ethnicity and socio-cultural aspects. Tourism promotion and development has resulted in high economic, social, cultural and of course environmental impacts and as such the need for tourism impact researches is imperative and essential. The present article has chosen residents as a key term around which the types of tourism development are extensively related. It is also because they represent the local government and their perception about tourism and tolerance level starts from tourists and their number, intensity and behavior. The perception survey is also based on existing literature and destination specific parameters in the form of statements. Factor analysis is done to bring to light the important issues to focus on future strategies.
