With the new global campaign, Kerala Tourism aims to attract tourists to the state that suffered huge losses in last year’s floods but has made vigorous efforts to completely wipe out the scars of the calamity in double-quick time.

In 2018, the Kerala tourism sector netted a record revenue of Rs 36,528 crore, clocking an annual rise of 8.5%. More than 167 lakh tourists had visited the state in 2018. Kerala identifies the US, UK, Gulf countries, Germany and France among the key global markets for its tourism industry, which is also a significant source of foreign exchange for the state.

Kerala is also in the process of reviving the heritage tourism projects in Alappuzha and Thalassery. To rope in more private investment, the state government is also coming up with a new avatar of its traditional snake boat race. Emulating the format of the Indian Premier League (IPL), private companies would be able to own boat race teams and participate in tournaments for the sport.

The new campaign comes nine years after the 2010 launch of ‘Your Moment is Waiting’ in London.
