Kerala Tourism
Kerala, a state situated on the
tropical Malabar Coast of southwestern India, is one of the most popular tourist
destinations in the country. Named as one of the ten paradises of the world by
the National Geographic Traveler, Kerala Tourism is famous especially for
its ecotourism initiatives.Its unique culture and traditions, coupled with its
varied demography, has made Kerala one of the most popular tourist destinations
in the world. Growing at a rate of 13.31%, the tourism industry is a major
contributor to the state's economy.Until the early 1980s, Kerala was a hitherto
unknown destination, with most tourism circuits concentrated around the north of
the country. Aggressive marketing campaigns launched by the Kerala Tourism
Development Corporation—the government agency that oversees tourism
prospects of the state—laid the foundation for the growth of the tourism
industry. In the decades that followed, Kerala Tourism was able to
transform itself into one of the niche holiday destinations in India. The tag
line Kerala- God's Own Country was adopted in its tourism promotions and became
synonymous with the state. Today, Kerala Tourism is a global superbrand and
regarded as one of the destinations with the highest brand recall.
