“That soil has a vibration.” These words coming from V.K.T. Balan, an experienced tour operator from Chennai, may well be an advertisement for Wayanad tourism.
Mr. Balan was entranced by the natural beauty of the land. He was impressed by the cleanliness of Sulthan Bathery town and is determined to propose it as a model at the Tamil Nadu Tourism Advisory Committee, of which he is a member.
Mr. Balan was part of the 40-member contingent of tour operators from across the country, who had come to north Kerala as part of the ‘Fam 2 Malabar 500’ programme of the Department of Tourism, Government of Kerala.
