The decks have been cleared for the implementation of Kerala Tourism's 'Eco-Kerala' ecocertification scheme. Orders have been issued for constituting district-level committees to carry out the inspections required to implement the scheme.
The committees in each district will inspect properties and send their report to the State-level committee for awarding the certification based on a property's adherence to various guidelines.
Managed by Kerala's Ecotourism Department, the voluntary Eco-Kerala certification scheme is intended to grade hotels, resorts and home stays based on their adherence to various eco-friendly systems and practices. The certification scheme will grade applicants based on their compliance with three set of conditions-essential, necessary and desirable.
