The Kerala Tourism Development Corporation’s (KTDC) Workation project can attract those working in the IT sector in various cities in the country to tourist destinations in Kerala, Public Works and Tourism Minister P.A. Mohamed Riyas has said. He was speaking after inaugurating the KTDC’s special tourism packages and toll-free number here on Tuesday.
Workation project is one of the contributions made to the tourism sector by COVID-19 pandemic. Through the pilot project in Wayanad district, it was possible to attract a large number of people from various places, including Bengaluru, to work in Kerala, the Minister said.
Stating that the KTDC would provide special facilities at tourist centres for this purpose, Mr. Riyas said the KTDC was trying to spread the centres across the State. This is an opportunity to take a break from the workplace and work with joy at a tourist destination. Kerala can make maximum use of this opportunity, he added.
