But in spite of these initiatives of Kerala government, our destinations lacks cleanliness. The present study tries to find out the satisfaction of tourists on major destination attributes and also tries to find out how destination cleanliness affects overall satisfaction of the tourists. The study also tries to understand the present role of government authorities in ensuring destination cleanliness. The study uses both exploratory and conclusive research designs. The primary data was collected from two samples, one is tourists and the other is Government authorities. The first sample of data was collected from 100 tourists (50 domestic and 50 foreign tourists) who visited Fort Kochi, Ernakulam district, Kerala at the time of data collection.
