Abstract
This paper critically reviews the practice of eco tourism in
Kerala by studying three different types of eco tourist
destinations; Kumbalangi, Cherai and Munnar. While
Kumbalangi is selected to represent backwater tourism, Cherai
and Munnar successively represented beach and high range
tourism., This paper argues that all three destinations have
failed in the areas of environmental sustainability, benefits for
local people and more revenue generations, each of which is
considered a core concern within eco tourism.
Keywords: Ecotourism, Environmental sustainability.
