A Study On Heritage Tourist Satisfaction In Karnataka

Heritage tourists visiting three UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Karnataka—Hampi, Pattadakal, and Beluru—report high satisfaction with most aspects of their experience but express concerns about the maintenance of natural environments and cleanliness. This finding underscores a critical gap in heritage tourism management, where economic benefits from tourism often overshadow environmental sustainability. The study, conducted by Dr. Vijay Kumar Dhannur and Mr. Rakesh H., analyzed tourist satisfaction across key factors, revealing that while domestic and foreign tourists are generally pleased with the sites, ecological and cleanliness issues pose significant challenges. This research highlights the need for balanced strategies in heritage tourism to ensure both visitor satisfaction and environmental preservation.
