The primary objective is to identify specific areas where challenges exist and provide policy recommendations to promote resilient and sustainable tourism development along the corridor. Integrating spatial, environmental, and perceptual data, the analysis develops a composite framework to assess environmental, infrastructural, socio-economic, and governance resilience. Results reveal strong infrastructural connectivity but moderate ecological and community adaptability. Water quality deterioration and unplanned land conversion reduce ecological resilience, while limited local awareness constrains adaptive tourism diversification. Conversely, peri-urban zones with mixed land use demonstrate higher potential for low-impact tourism such as farm and eco-tourism. Strengthening corridor governance through integrated land-use control, water-quality restoration, and community participation is essential to sustain tourism resilience. The study recommends targeted policy interventions, prioritizing sustainable infrastructure, decentralized waste management, and participatory tourism planning, to align regional development with Keralas responsible tourism agenda and provide a replicable model for other emerging tourism corridors in India.
