Ms Ajitha Suresh
Ajitha, skilled in coir spinning, has likely appeared in some of the world’s notable photographs, capturing the interest of international tourists. Ajitha Suresh introduces tourists to various stages of coir manufacturing through the village experience tour packages in Kumarakom. At a time when she had decided to quit this traditional craft due to its decline, Responsible Tourism’s village life experience tour packages came as an opportunity. This initiative helps her sustain the traditional occupation while also generating income. Ajitha Suresh has been featured in various Kerala Tourism advertisements, where she introduces tourists to Kerala’s traditional attire, food habits, and culture.
