This is achieved by introducing variety of tourism products, developing new centers’ of attraction and upgrading all existing major centers. Beaches, wand weather, backwater ,hill stations, waterfalls, wildlife, Ayurvedha, year round festivals, are unique destination for tourists. During the few years, the Kerala state government has been giving high priority to this sector in Kerala state, tourism is a new opportunity Tourism is an important source of foreign currency for the government. The flow of tourists and income from it is increasing year by year. In 2005, 2.46lakhs foreigners and 59.46 lakh tourists from other state of India visited Kerala. He total income is rupees 7738crores. In 2006 428534 foreigners and 6271724domestic tourists visited Kerala.

A forecast study conducted by WTTC states that travel and tourism related to economic activity of Kerala grows at 11.4% during 2004-2013 and shall provide employment to 2.2 million (15 per cent of total employment) by2013. The growth rate of tourist arrivals in Kerala is more than six times compared to the growth rate of World tourist arrival in 2010.. The rolling high ranges of the Western Ghats are very attractive and also play an important role in determining the climate of the State. Eco-tourism centers of Kerala are very popular. India’s first planned eco-tourism center is in Kerala, at Thenmala . AMBEDKAR COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCE, WANDOOR 2 A STUDY ABOUT PROSPECTS AND PROBLEMS OF KERALA TOURISM 2018 2018 Kerala is renowned as a health tourism destination also. The Ayurvedic health tourism is more popular here because the State has an unparalleled wealth of herbs and natural vegetation; perhaps, similar plants are seen only in the Himalayas. It is due to the unique geographical position and tropical climate of the State. The humid climatic condition is also favorable for Ayurvedic treatment and the best attraction to the tourist Apart from being a tourist destination, Kerala is also India’s most literate and advanced society, most peaceful and cleanest State. Kerala was adjudged as one of the ‘Ten paradises of the World by the National Geographic Traveler. Kerala’s geographical diversity and ecological features are promising for tourism development. No tourist can experience anywhere in the World, except Kerala such a geographical diversity within a small piece of land Tourism is travel for recreational, leisure or business purpose, usually ofa limited duration. Tourism is of commonly associated with trans-national travel, but may also refer to travel to another location within the same country. The world tourism organization defines tourists as people “travelling to and staying in places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes. 1.2 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Kerala is a agricultural state and for many reason its agricultural contributions are declining year by year. Hence it should find new areas to sustain in the competitive economy. Tourism is an important source of foreign currency and it creates a lot of employment opportunities we are promoting Kerala as a tourist destination very aggressively all over the world But the facilities available to foreign as well as domestic tourists are not satisfactory AMBEDKAR COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCE, WANDOOR 3 A STUDY ABOUT PROSPECTS AND PROBLEMS OF KERALA TOURISM 2018 2018 NILAMBUR the land of golden teak is an unexplored tourists spot as our state it is very close to Nilagiri biosphere and Bangalore-Calicut national highway, where 1000 of tourists are passing every day.

Thomas Cook is popularly regarded as the founder of inclusive tours with his use of a chartered train in 1841to transport tourists from Southborough to Leicester. Before the 1950s, tourism in Europe was mainly a domestic activity with some international travel between countries, mainly within continental Europe. In the period of recovery following World War II, a combination of circumstances provided an impetus to international travel. Among the important contributing factors were the growing number of people in employment, the increase in real disposable incomes and available leisure time, and changing social attitudes towards leisure and work. These factors combined to stimulate the latent demand for foreign travel and holidays. The emergence of specialist tour operators who organized inclusive holidays by purchasing transport, accommodation, and related services and selling these at a single price, brought foreign holidays within the price-range of a new and growing group of consumers. The "package" or "inclusive" tour democratized travel in Europe; foreign holidays were no longer the preserve of the affluent and socially lite classes. Tourist is a person who comes from another country or another place to see and enjoy the attractions and famous places in the region. AMBEDKAR COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCE, WANDOOR 8 A STUDY ABOUT PROSPECTS AND PROBLEMS OF KERALA TOURISM 2018 2018 TOURISM IN INDIA Tourism in India is economically important and is growing rapidly. The World Travel & Tourism Council calculated that tourism generated 6.4 trillion or 6.6% of the nation's GDP in 2012. It supported 39.5 million jobs, 7.7% of its total employment. The sector is predicted to grow at an average annual rate of7.9% till 2023 making India the third fastest growing tourism destination over the next decade. India has a large medical tourism sector which is expected to grow at an estimated rate of 30% annually to reach about Rs.95 billion by 2015. About 22.57 million tourists arrived in India in 2014, compared to 19.95million in 2013. This ranks India as the 38th country in the world in terms of foreign tourist arrivals. Domestic tourist visits to all states and Union Territories numbered 1,036.35 million in 2012, an increase of 16.5% from 2011. In 2014,Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh were the most popular states for tourists.

  • 9 State Forest Management and Biodiversity: a Case of Kerala, India
    9 State Forest Management and Biodiversity: A Case of Kerala, India Ellyn K. DAMAYANTI & MASUDA Misa 1. Introduction Republic of India is the seventh largest country in the world, covering an area of 3,287,263 km2.has large and diverse forest resources in 633,397 km2 of forest covers or 19.27% of land areas (ICFRE, 2003; FAO, 2003). Forest types in India vary from topical rainforest in northeastern India, to desert and thorn forests in Gujarat and Rajasthan; mangrove forests in West Bengal, Orissa and other coastal areas; and dry alpine forests in the western Himalaya. The most common forest types are tropical moist deciduous forest, tropical dry deciduous forests, and wet tropical evergreen forests. India has a large network of protected areas, including 89 national parks and around 497 wildlife sanctuaries (MoEF, 2005). India has long history in forest management. The first formal government approach to forest management can be traced to the enactment of the National Forest Policy of 1894, revised in 1952 and once again revised in 1988, which envisaged community involvement in the protection and regeneration of forest (MoEF, 2003). Even having large and diverse forest resources, India’s national goal is to have a minimum of one-third of the total land area of the country under forest or tree cover (MoEF, 1988). In management of state forests, the National Forest Policy, 1988 emphasizes schemes and projects, which interfere with forests that clothe slopes; catchments of rivers, lakes, and reservoirs, geologically unstable terrain and such other ecologically sensitive areas, should be severely restricted.

  • Eco-Tourism in Kerala and Its Importance and Sustainability
    Volume : 3 | Issue : 5 | May 2014 ISSN - 2250-1991 Research Paper Economics ECO-Tourism In Kerala and Its Importance and Sustainability Assistant professor, Post Graduate Department of Economics Dr. Haseena V.A M.E.S Asmabi College, P.Vemballur, Kodunagllur, Thrissur, Kerala Tourism is one of the few sectors where Kerala has clear competitive advantages given its diverse geography in a short space ranging from the Western Ghats covered with dense forests to the backwaters to the Arabian sea. Its ancient rich culture including traditional dance forms and the strong presence of alternative systems of medicine add to its allure. Unfortunately, Kerala is dominated by domestic tourism within the state although foreign tourists arrivals to the state has been growing at a faster rate than national average. The goal in the KPP 2030 is to develop Kerala as an up-market tourism destination with the state being the top destination in terms of number of tourists and revenue among all the Indian states. Sustainable tourism is the mission. This can be achieved by integrating tourism with other parts of the economy like medical and health hubs which will attract more stable tourists over a longer period of time and with higher spending capacity. There will be new elements added to leisure tourism and niche products in tourism will be developed. Infrastructure development is ABSTRACT crucial to achieve this goal. The success of Kerala tourism will be based on the synergy between private and public sectors. The government has taken steps to encourage private investment in tourism, while adhering to the principles and practices of sustainability.
