Survival International found eight travel groups on the Andaman Islands offering trips to see the Jarawa tribe.
The nomadic tribe of about 320 people had lived on the island without outside contact for 55,000 years until 1998. The tribe is thought to have little immunity to disease and is protected by law from being contacted.
Sophie Grig, a senior campaigner with Survival International, talks with Meera Sivasothy about the plight of the Jawara people.
