Abstract	Houseboat tourism is gaining popularity in Kerala's backwaters and interconnected navigable canals. Houseboats are the backbone of the Kerala Backwater Tourism Industry, and their physical and morphological characteristics make them less than ideal for supporting tourism operations. The number and variety of houseboats have, however, shed light on the state's natural and cultural resources, highlighting their vulnerability and the need for more cautious destination lifecycle management and appropriate government intervention to ensure their long-term viability. The research shows that houseboat tourism in Kerala is still in its early phases of development as a tourist product, but there is already evidence of change that raises both positive and negative sustainability concerns.
