Kerala’s efforts to put its pandemic-hit tourism back on track got a boost with the State featuring in TIME magazine’s 50 extraordinary destinations to explore in 2022.
Lavishing praise on Kerala as one of India’s most beautiful States with spectacular beaches, lush backwaters, temples, and palaces, the magazine noted: “This year, Kerala is boosting motor-home tourism in India to inspire a new pas de deux of exploration and accommodation. The State’s first caravan park, Karavan Meadows, opened in Wagamon, a scenic hill station.”
While noting the success of the State’s houseboat cruising, the TIME said caravans were expected to follow suit with a similar promise of sustainable tourism as a large number of campers were expected to traverse the land, giving a fresh and unique way to experience Kerala’s beaches and verdant plantations.
