India’s tourist attractions
warrant for more tourists
than we are presently getting.
No other country can match
India as a tourist draw. If
a tourist wants mountaineering
and trekking, which mountains
in the world can compete with
the Himalayas? If he wants
the sea and the sun, where
else would he find thousands
of miles of virgin beaches
against back drops of swaying
coconut palms?
enchanting waterfalls, historic
monuments, spectacular artforms,
rejuvenating health packages,
exotic wildlife and year-round
festivals offer excellent
investment opportunities in
tourism related activities.
All of which offer the tourists
a unique experience, which
enchants him throughout his
life.

| Again,
Kerala has
in store more for the tourists.
The state can boast of having
the most advanced society in
Kerala. It
has a hundred per cent literate
people, the lowest infant mortality
rate, the highest life expectancy
rate, the highest quality of
life etc. As a destination,
Kerala can
attract the independent traveler
with its unique qualities like
the pristine environment, the
rich and vibrant culture and
the high quality of life for
the local inhabitants brought
about by the state's investments
since Independence in the field
of education, health care, institutions
of democracy, social justice
etc. The state is also endowed
with its unique natural, cultural
and social resources. |

| Alappuzha |
With the Arabian Sea on the west
and a vast network of lakes, lagoons
and fresh water rivers crisscrossing
it, Alappuzha is a district
of immense natural beauty. Referred
to as the Venice of the East by
travellers from across the world,
this backwater country is also
home to diverse animal and bird
life. By virtue of its proximity
to the sea, the town has always
enjoyed a unique place in the
maritime history of Kerala |

If he wants to visit
ancient sites or ruins, which country
can match the monuments of the Hindu,
Buddhist, Jain, Muslim, Sikh and Christian
faiths? Or if he is in search of secluded
spots, away from civilization, the Lakshadweep
Islands with their sparkling clear waters
or the Andamans with their thick rain
forests, white sands and coral reefs
have few parallels. If he wishes to
study Yoga or meet men of religion,
then our gurus and sanyasis and their
Ashrams have much to offer. Whatever
his interest, India has unparalleled
attractions to offer to the tourist.
As far as Kerala is
concerned, the state's potential for
tourism has been well accepted. Tourism
is Kerala's boom industry.
Strategically located at the south western
tip of India, Kerala
enjoys unique geographic features which
has made it one of the most sought after
tourist destinations in Asia. The state
is a breathtakingly beautiful green,
greenland. Natural endowments like tranquil
beaches, soothing backwaters, exhilarating
hill stations,
|
| Munnar |
One
of the best hill stations
of South India - is situated
at a height of 1600 m from Sea
Level. Situated at the confluence
of three mountain streams, this
hill station was once the summer
capital of the British
Government in South India. Sprawling
Tea Plantations,
small towns and beautiful houses
make this a popular hill station.
Munnar is also famous for exotic
flora - like Neelakurunji,
which blooms once in 12 years.
Anamudi, the highest
peak of south India
is situated in this area and
is an ideal place for
Trekking. |
