Kerala Tourism is planning
to expand its eco tourism profile with many projects that would literally
breathe fresh air into the existing hotspots. An elephant rehabilitation centre
will shortly be established at Kottur, with central assistance. Also, the
second phase development of Neyyar dam will be undertaken with the aim of
transforming the dam area into a prominent eco-tourism centre.
Efforts are on to attract more travelers to Neyyar wildlife
sanctuary by arranging safe transport for those travelers who want to experience
the adventure of the lion safari park. On the waterfront, Mr. Binoy Viswom,
the Minister for Forest, inaugurated the newly constructed floating boat jetty
and flagged off the sight seeing boat Agasthya, which can accommodate as many
as 22 people.
