The Tourism department will organise four adventure tourism festivals in the coming months to put the State on the global adventure tourism map.
Announcing the calendar for the events at a press conference here on Wednesday, Minister for Tourism P.A. Mohamed Riyas said adventure tourism was expected to grow 20% by 2032 worldwide. It was gaining a lot of prominence, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. It also played a huge role in growth of domestic tourism. The State’s geography such as mountains, rivers, beaches, and canals offered immense potential for adventure tourism. Though beach tourism promotion was under way, surfing, skydiving, hot air balloon, and bungee jumping too were being explored. Water sports, jungle safari, and trekking were other activities that could be organised.
