‘Responsible tourism will be promoted’

Chief Minister V.S.Achuthanandan has said that "responsible tourism" is the objective of the State Government while implementing tourim schemes. Achuthanandan was speaking after inaugurating the Rs.15 crore Sarovaram eco-tourism project here on Sunday. Achuthanandan said the Government would envisage a tourim project for each grama panchayath. He said infrastructure would be strengthened and the State would try to maintain the excellent credentials it had earned as a tourist center. Home Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan, who presided, said that unlike in the past the tourist zone of Kerala would not be confined to the Kovalam-Kumarakom-Thekkadi belt."Tourism in a big way would be brought to the Malabar region too.
