The economy of the Kaziranga region is highly specialized, resting almost entirely on two pillars: agriculture (specifically tea) and eco-tourism. The massive influx of domestic and international tourists during the dry season fuels a robust hospitality sector, providing jobs for safari drivers, guides, hotel staff, and handicraft artisans.
Surrounding the park are some of Assam's famous tea estates, which are major employers for the local population. Beyond tea, subsistence and local market farming form the economic backbone for families not directly involved in tourism. Cost of living remains relatively low and typical of rural India, though prime real estate near the park entry gates commands a premium due to commercial demand.
