The Hindu
Tourism Minister says steps, including decentralisation of destination development, on the cards to offset revenue loss caused by decline in international tourist arrivals
The Kerala government has said that the State could offset the revenue loss caused by the sharp decline in foreign tourist arrivals by aggressively promoting domestic tourism. Replying to questions raised by legislators during Question Hour in the Assembly on Thursday, Tourism Minister P.A. Mohamed Riyas said that the COVID-19 pandemic had drastically altered the people’s holiday plans. The international holiday travel and leisure cruise industries were on the course to a slow revival. In the hiatus, high-spending tourists opted heavily for nearby holiday destinations they could reach by road.More Related News
