Trends in Tourism Development of Kerala in India

Abstract

Kerala has been regarded as a 'development model', and a number of internal and external issues can
lead to performance. The government and bureaucracy now project tourism as a 'engine of growth', a
good source of forex and employment to revive the local economy. Opposition to large-scale tourism
by environmental and labor activists is often dealt with through undemocratic means. The current
research question investigates the sustainability of responsible tourism and its contribution to the
community at Kerala's famous tourist destinations.

Keywords: tourism, quality destinations, policies, tourism growth, foreign tourists.
