Kerala is planning to promote sustainable and green travel initiatives in the popular and emerging tourist destinations adjacent to backwaters, beaches, and rivers in the State.
As part of the initiatives, a certain percentage of tourists visiting the Responsible Tourism (RT) Mission packages at various destinations will be encouraged to travel green by offering e-auto and bicycle safaris. The project will be implemented by RT Mission with the cooperation of local self-government bodies.
Speaking to The Hindu, Rupesh Kumar, State Coordinator of the RT Mission, said the Mission had an ambitious plan to implement an RT protocol in all the destinations as part of ensuring economic and environmental responsibility.
