Tourism destroys historical and environmental heritage. The Kodungallur region is rich in archaeological sites as well as temples, mosques, synagogues and churches. Spiritual places have their ethical value.Uncontrolled tourism named by the government as Muziris Heritage Project can threaten the existence of ecology and population in the region . Let spiritual places continue as they existed in Muziris since last one thousand years. Nothing threatened their survival except colonial powers. Let archaeological excavations take place but not under biased and communal ideologies as it happens in Pattanam..Tourism as a possible source of revenue can be disastrous for the culture of a place.Many heritage sites in the world have been subject to the disasters of unbridled heritage marketing.
