  • Impacts of Sustainable Cultural Tourism in Fort Kochi, Kerala
    Vol. 3 No. 1 July 2015 ISSN: 2321 – 788X IMPACTS OF SUSTAINABLE CULTURAL TOURISM IN FORT KOCHI, KERALA Jose Bejoy (Ph.D Research Scholar in Tourism Management) Centre for Tourism & Hotel Management, Madurai Kamaraj University, Madurai-21 Dr. R. Kannan (Research Supervisor), Associate Professor and Director i/c Centre for Tourism & Hotel Management, Madurai Kamaraj University, Madurai-21 Abstract Before the death of Christ, Fort Kochi was covered by mangrove woods, turfs and sand banks. Sand banks were created with the rise in the sea level which formed the shape of the coastal area. Around 600 AD, written documents about the Malabar coast show that this region had Hindus, Christians, Muslims and a Jewish minority. The natural harbour of Kochi was created by a flood that also destroyed the harbour of the town Kodungalloor. Thereafter, Fort Kochi was developed into one of the most important harbours in the west coast of India. It concentrated on the spices trade with the China and the Middle East. Keywords: Fort Kochi, Kodungalloor, Malabar coast, Zamorin, Portugese, Alvares, Hyder Ali, Tippu Sultan Introduction Historical Background of Fort Kochi, Kerala During 1500 A.D. Calicut was ruled by king Zamorin and Kochi was ruled by the Maharajah of Cochin. This was the time when the first Portugese ships berthed at Malabar coast. Vasco Da Gamma landed in Calicut and Pedro Alvares Cabral landed in Kochi. The Maharaja of Kochi felt threatened by the Zamorin of Calicut. The Maharajah hoped that the Portugese would help him in his defense from the neighbouring King of Calicut. The Maharajah welcomed the Portugese and they founded their first trading centre in Kochi.
