Coastal tourism has been an important form of tourism in India. The beaches of Goa and Kerala have been seeing tourism since the 1960s. Since then, other coastal states, especially, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal has seen increasing tourism on the coasts. Central governments and state governments have also supported coastal tourism by creating a conducive policy environment.

Our work has focused on the economic, environmental, social, cultural, political and administrative impacts of tourism particularly on people living in and around tourism destinations. We collaborate closely with organisations and peoples movements, to influence people-centered forms of tourism & policies that ensure significant local benefits and take into account the negative impacts of an unbridled growth of tourism.
