Struggling tourism-reliant rural economy hopeful
Visitors have begun trickling into the backwater villages of Kottayam after a long gap, breathing life into the struggling tourism-reliant rural economy. From Kumarakom to Vaikom, locations are gradually adjusting to the circumstances even as arrivals are expected to go up with the Onam holidays. Bookings in hotels and resorts in the region have gained momentum while houseboats and local transportation systems too have resumed operations, although at a much-reduced scale.More Related News
