The Kerala Travel Mart (KTM) that will be held here from May 5 to 8 will accord priority to local tourists, with a host of attractions for them, considering the recent increase in the number of domestic travellers calling at destinations in the State, said KTM Society which is organising the Business-to-Business (B2B) meet.
Said to be the country’s largest tourism buyer-seller conclave, the mart will propose a policy that can promote tourism at the regional level. “We will accord local tourists importance on par with visitors from outside the State and abroad,” said Baby Mathew, president of the society.
“Tourists from within Kerala are capable of making use of different travel packages. We see increased scope for weekend and adventure tourism. Further, youngsters working in the IT sector are showing immense interest in travel. This lends huge prospect for the growth of tourism,” he added.
