The tourism industry in Kerala has received a major boost in the revised State Budget presented by Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan. The government announced that all benefits currently available to industries will now be extended to the tourism sector as well.
The Chief Minister said the State has accepted the long-standing demand of tourism stakeholders to recognize tourism as an industry. This move is expected to improve investment opportunities, create employment, and strengthen Kerala’s position as a leading tourist destination.
Industry leaders have welcomed the decision, calling it a landmark step that will support the growth and development of the tourism sector across the State.
