With growing popularity for adventure tourism activities, the State, for the first time, will take the count of tourists visiting the adventure tourism destinations in the State.
The decision was taken in a bid to further boost tourist arrivals in this segment in the coming years by improving visitor experiences and opening up new destinations and hiking routes.
Speaking to The Hindu on Saturday, Binu Kuriakose, chief executive officer of the Kerala Adventure Tourism Promotion Society (KATPS), said, “As per our primary estimation, over 15 lakh tourists visited adventure tourism destinations and took part in the activities provided by more than 60 registered units under the KATPS.”
