The tourism sector in Kerala faces significant risks due to climate-induced challenges and geopolitical instability. A failure of the northeast monsoon could result in higher temperatures, making the region less attractive to foreign tourists. Additionally, the ongoing conflict in West Asia is prompting travellers to opt for safer destinations, potentially reducing Kerala's share of international visitors. This situation could lead to economic strain on the hospitality sector, with potential layoffs if the peak season does not perform well. The lack of substantial government support further exacerbates the industry's vulnerability.
