After seaplane, it's caravan for Kerala tourism

         THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Hot on the heels of UDF government's seaplane project, efforts are on to introduce caravan tourism in the state. Officials at the state tourism department are busy preparing a detailed project report to submit to the ministry of tourism for funding to develop caravan parks in five locations across the state - Thirunelli, Vagamon, Soochippara, Bekal and Ponmudi.

"Kerala tourism is always interested in developing new products to promote the state as a top-notch tourism destination. The seaplane project is nearing completion and we have to move on to the next viable project. Caravan tourism is top on the agenda list, especially as the ministry of tourism has issued a guideline regarding the service," said a source from the tourism department. Caravans which have basic facilities for stay and travel, including bedrooms and kitchen, can be used to reach places and enjoy scenic vistas where hotels can't be built.                                                                                                                                                                      Courtesy : timesofindia.indiatimes.com
