在生态脆弱的沿海地区，工业化、城市化和商业化等人为干预往往会导致环境恶化。旅游业是一项重要的经济活动，可以极大地改变目的地人民的生活。其中一些变化可以是有益的，表现为经济增长和基础设施发展，从而导致生活水平的全面提高。同时，由于商业化程度的提高、土地使用的根本变化、犯罪的增加等原因，它也可能导致不利的环境影响。在瓦尔卡勒里镇进行的研究表明，由于近年来不受控制的旅游活动，沿海住区正在经历迅速的变化。除非当局立即采取纠正措施，否则这将导致沿海地区的社会经济、物质和环境退化，这将对流入目的地的游客产生不利影响。本文概述了沿海地区旅游业发展的影响以及旅游业对瓦尔卡拉帕帕纳萨姆海滩海岸环境的影响。
Human interventions like industrialisation, urbanisation&commercialisation in ecologically vulnerable coastal areas often lead to deterioration of the environment. Tourism is a major economic activity which can bring significant transformations in the lives of people in a destination. Some of the changes can be beneficial in the form of economic growth and infrastructural developments leading to overall improvement in living standards. At the same time, it can also lead to adverse environmental impacts due to increased commercialisation, radical changes in land use, growth of crimes etc. Studies conducted in the town of Varkalarevealed that the coastal settlements are undergoing rapid transformations as a result of uncontrolled tourism activity in recent years. Unless immediate corrective measures are taken by the authorities, this will lead to socio- economic,physical and environmental degradation of the coastal region which will adversely affect the tourist inflow into the destination. This paper gives an overview about impacts of tourism development in coastal areas and the impact of tourism on the coastal environment of Papanasam beach in Varkala.
