Tourism acts as one of the largest industries of the modern world. Worldwide the industry shows upward trend in terms of tourist's statistics and tourism revenues. But the actual success of the tourism development should be measured not in terms of tourist numbers or revenue from tourism, but the way it has integrated tourism in to the existing communities and used the investment generated to benefit those communities as well as the tourist (Sara Tillotson,1988). These can be effectively assessed by measuring the impacts of tourism (both positive and negative) on the resident community. The study has got two objectives. First is to understand the different perceived impacts of tourism (both positive and negative) and second is to suggest models for perceived benefits of tourism and for perceived costs of tourism. Multistage sampling method was used to collect 800 samples from selected destinations in Kerala. The analysis was done using SPSS (ver21) and AMOS. The study result presents different dimensions under the “Perceived impacts of tourism” and also suggests models for “perceived benefits of tourism” and for “perceived costs of tourism”.

Abstract


Tourism acts as one of the largest industries of the modern world. Worldwide the industry shows upward trend in terms of tourist's statistics and tourism revenues. But the actual success of the tourism development should be measured not in terms of tourist numbers or revenue from tourism, but the way it has integrated tourism in to the existing communities and used the investment generated to benefit those communities as well as the tourist (Sara Tillotson,1988). These can be effectively assessed by measuring the impacts of tourism (both positive and negative) on the resident community. The study has got two objectives. First is to understand the different perceived impacts of tourism (both positive and negative) and second is to suggest models for perceived benefits of tourism and for perceived costs of tourism. Multistage sampling method was used to collect 800 samples from selected destinations in Kerala. The analysis was done using SPSS (ver21) and AMOS. The study result presents different dimensions under the “Perceived impacts of tourism” and also suggests models for “perceived benefits of tourism” and for “perceived costs of tourism”.
