Abstract
To make coastal tourism more sustainable, the researcher has developed a model for sustainable coastal tourism. The evolved model has been tested for its fitness using structural equation modelling (SEM). The analysis of the data has been done based on the perceptions of beach visitors and local community. The perceptions pertaining to economic, socio-cultural, environmental, technological and political sustainability of coastal tourism was collected using questionnaires from five different beach areas of Dakshina Kannada district of Karnataka. After the testing of the model, as to whether it is found fit, the model could be applied at any coastal tourism destination having similar profile for attaining integrated sustainability of coastal tourism destinations.
