As a result of the global financial crunch, the domestic tourism scenario in Kerala, instead of feeling the heat has gained appreciably well. Travelers from Kerala these days prefer to visit destinations within their home state rather than those outside or abroad. And the reason obviously seems to be the financial crunch looming large over them, forcing them to work out economically feasible travel options.
With the schools in the state closing for summer vacation, the travel and tour operators are anticipating further increase in domestic travelers. According to the officials of District Tourism Promotion Councils, destinations in Kozhikode and Wayanad are witnessing a steady increase in the arrival of domestic tourists, when compared to the previous year.
As things brighten up in the domestic tourism front for Kerala, the Department of Tourism will soon launch road shows in major cities of India, starting in the month of May as part of its “Visit Kerala 2009” campaign
