Time magazine has accorded special mention to the Kerala\u2019s Caravan Tourism project<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pandemic-hit, it indeed was. But Kerala Tourism rose from its coronavirus-induced lull in flying colours. The latest testimony comes from the globally popular Time magazine, which has featuring the southern Indian state\u2019s tourism sector in its 50 extraordinary destinations to explore in 2022. Not a small achievement, this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Time magazine has showered laurels on Kerala stating that it is as one of India\u2019s most beautiful states with spectacular beaches, lush backwaters, temples, and palaces. Special mention has been accorded to the state\u2019s newest Caravan Tourism<\/a> project saying that this year, Kerala is boosting motor-home tourism in India to inspire a new pas de deux of exploration and accommodation. The state\u2019s first caravan park, Karavan Meadows, opened in Vagamon, a scenic hill station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kerala is God\u2019s Own Country for good reason, says Time<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Applauding the success of the state\u2019s houseboat cruising, Time said caravans are expected to follow suit with a similar promise of sustainable tourism as a large number of campers are expected to traverse the land, giving a fresh and unique way to experience Kerala\u2019s beaches and verdant plantations. Kerala is known as \u201cGod\u2019s Own Country\u201d for good reason, it added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kerala Tourism Minister PA Mohamed Riyas elaborated the honour as an emphatic recognition of the state\u2019s new initiatives to promote tourism in tune with ecological imperatives and sustainability. \u201cWe are also making earnest efforts to facilitate tourists to visit unexplored places that dot our scenic state,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Featuring in TIME<\/a> magazine\u2019s world\u2019s greatest places to explore in the ongoing year will give a big push to the state\u2019s continued initiatives to regain its buoyancy in international tourism circuits and promote tourism in a safe and hospitable manner, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to K S Srinivas, Principal Secretary, Tourism, the inclusion of Kerala in Time\u2019s list is a matter of enormous pride for the state. The pioneering initiatives like caravan tourism and the upcoming events like the second edition of the Champions Boat League will give a huge fillip to tourism in the state, he pointed out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kerala Tourism Director P B Nooh added that Kerala figuring in Time\u2019s list is an endorsement of the state\u2019s conscious and sustained endeavours to bring into focus the unexplored places that would kindle interest among the tourists. The results have already started showing; footfalls have increased substantially in the post-pandemic phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
