PreambleKerala, “God’s own Country”, has emerged as the most acclaimed tourist destination in the country. Beaches, warm weather, backwaters, hill stations, waterfalls, wild life, Ayurveda, year round festivals and the diverse flora and fauna make Kerala a unique destination for tourists. During the last few years, the State Government has been giving very high priority to this sector.
Kerala has been branded as one of the most wanted tourism destination. A great deal of this is due to proactive marketing and promotional measures taken during the last ten years.
