The Impact of Eco-tourism on the Local Economy of Kuruva Dweep, Wayanad: A Study of the Industry's Contribution to GDP and Sustainable Development

Author(s) Seena Devi, Teena George

Abstract ABSTRACT
The study examines the economic and environmental effects of eco-tourism in Kuruva Dweep, Wayanad, with a focus on its impact on local livelihoods and sustainability. Eco-tourism, considered a sustainable development model, has drawn more tourists to Kuruva Dweep, resulting in economic benefits such as job opportunities and increased income for local communities. However, this growth has raised concerns about environmental degradation and the region's long-term sustainability. Through surveys, descriptive statistics, and regression analysis, the study investigates the link between eco-tourism, its economic impact, and environmental consequences. The findings indicate a strong positive correlation between eco-tourism and local economic growth, but also reveal significant environmental challenges such as littering, resource overuse, and habitat disruption. The study concludes that while eco-tourism holds promise for sustainable development, stricter environmental management and greater community involvement are crucial to balance economic gains with ecological preservation. The study provides recommendations to encourage responsible tourism and ensure the long-term sustainability of Kuruva Dweep.
