Responsible Tourism Project in Kerala

Kerala Tourism is continuing to investigate the impact of tourism on ecology and social structure. We all know that tourism can have a major impact in terms of economic development as well as impacting upon local social structures.

Many visitors to India are keen that they should not leave a damaging footprint on Kerala and that the places they stay and activities they engage in have some form of ecological audit.

The project is focused on a number of high impact zones such as Kovalam, Kumarakom, Thekkady and Wayanad which either have high tourism numbers or are delicate structures that may be eroded quickly by tourism.
