The Role of HR Practices in Enhancing Employee Performance in the Tourism Sector with Special Reference to Kumarakam

Tourism's importance to the world's economy has grown considerably throughout the years. The industry is crucial to the development of many economies since it creates jobs and tax income. Kerala, with its backwaters, beaches, and scenic beauty, is a famous tourist destination in India, and the tourism industry there is a major contributor to the country's GDP. Tourists from all over the world go to Kerala to visit the popular tourist spot of Kumarakam. Human Resource (HR) practices are critical in raising employee output, which boosts tourism's evelopment prospects. Employee morale, output, fulfillment, and
loyalty can all benefit from well-executed HR policies and procedures. However, the tourist industry presents its own set of challenges when it comes to implementing
good HR practices, including a seasonal workforce, significant employee turnover, and a disproportionate number of part-time and temporary workers. Despite the importance of HR practices to the growth and sustainability of the tourism sector, there is a dearth of study on the difficulties businesses encounter in establishing HR policies and procedures that really improve worker productivity, especially in Kumarakam. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to identify the unique difficulties encountered by Kumarakam-based businesses in establishing efficient HR procedures and to propose solutions to these issues.
