I want to show you the very interesting face of Kerala. Kerala is such a lovely and perfect place to be in that it can not be stated in sheer words. Kerala is perfect place for eco tourism owing to abundance of natural vistas there.
Beaches, backwaters, hill stations, wildlife sanctuaries and culture including festivals mainly comprise the eco tourism products of Kerala. Kerala has bounty of all eco tourism products. The Western Ghats of Kerala are blessed with its tropical forest ecosystem provides a natural advantage for development of its section of tourism. Enhancement in quality and diversification of tourism product is a must to further develop the tourism in Kerala.
Too vigorous tourism in an area disturbs the natural habitats to a irreversible extent and there may be cultural shock for the local communities there. So to prevent all this to happen, there must be a well-planned strategy and proper programmes. Though tourism cannot be averted and neglected, as this is major economic activity for locals also, eco tourism is a good euphemism to let the people be aware of their surroundings and conscious towards living forms existing there. Eco tourism is now a internationally acclaimed project in an endeavor to protect global environs.
