It is a sum of many supporting services like accommodation, attractions and amenities, activities, accessibility, and the like. One of the most influencing elements among these is the accommodation sector. In the modern era of technological upliftment, digital marketing has a storm-like revolution in all industries. As tourism is a globally connected activity, it has a severe impact on the digital world. Digital Marketing platforms generally adopted by the accommodation sector of Kerala include websites, social media marketing, content marketing, blogs, chatbots, VRN, MTA, etc. On this background, the present study focuses on the impact of Digital Marketing Methods on the perception level of accommodation managers and the satisfaction level of tourists and how this affects the promotion of tourism in the accommodation sector.
