THE SPICE CIRCUIT Upcoming Escapes 2024-25 India is among the very few fortunate countries in the world having inherited a rich heritage which is older than Indus Valley civilisation. In a fast-developing society there is a risk of being cut off from one’s historical anchorages, hence It is the developing society which needs to strengthen its organic linkages with the past and learn from the aesthetic, cultural and historical heritage so that the present and the future is able to maintain a meaningful continuity with the past. Thiruvananthapuram has a prolonged history. It has been known as ‘Syanandapuram’, ‘Anandan Kadu’ and ‘Thiruvananda Puram’ in the past. During the period after the Cheras and the Perumals, the place now called Thiruvananthapuram was a part of Ayi Rajyam. In the beginning of the 9th century, Venad was a small country with headquarters at Kollam. By the 14th century, however, it became a powerful kingdom and the Ayi Rajyam was retrieved. Thiruvananthapuram became a town as early as 1049 AD. The growth of the town and that of the Sree Padmanabha Swami Temple were complementary. However, it came to prominence as a seat of power only during the reign of Anizham Thirunal Marthanda Varma (1729-1758).

The days of limitless travel are coming to a close. Between overcrowded destinations and careless tourist behavior, a clear need for boundaries is giving rise to tighter regulations and more mindful business models. The shift from high-volume to high-value travel will forever change how we define a brag-worthy trip. For example, In Goa, the tourism department has banned 10 activities that have caused or are likely to cause damage or deterioration to key tourist spots such as unauthorized boating, roadside cooking by tourists, and selling tickets outside official counters. Similarly, the Madras High Court requires vehicles entering Ooty and Kodaikanal during peak tourist months, to obtain a pre-registered e-pass for entry so that the carrying capacity of ghat roads can be fixed from excessive tourist footfall. How can local tourism businesses diversify their revenue streams in response to restrictions that may reduce their traditional sources of income? #TBWAIndia #Backslash

Kerala's captivating mix of beaches, backwaters, rivers, forests, and mountains has made it a top destination for travelers worldwide. The unique geographical diversity, where coastal areas, plains, and hills coexist within a single district, adds to its allure. As vacation travel to Kerala continues to rise, tourism hotspots may soon become even busier. Kochi remains the favorite among both domestic and international tourists, with reports indicating a shift from UK visitors pre-COVID to more U.S. tourists post COVID. Sustainable development of government-owned tourism sites can make Kerala a year-round destination. Embracing reforms and innovations through a comprehensive tourism policy and PPP model projects will elevate the sector, driving economic growth and creating significant employment opportunities. . . #kerala #tourism #topdestination #geography #economicgrowth #tourismpolicy

Tourism activities temporarily banned in Kerala's coastal areas: Precautions to take Due to the rough seas experienced in many coastal areas of Kerala, beach tourism activities have been halted in Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Alappuzha, and Thrissur districts. The Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS), a central government agency that issues weather warnings for fishermen in the country, has found that as a result of the low-pressure system moving into the Indian Ocean, very high waves -- which reached 11 meters at some places -- were created and reached the Kerala coast. The waves, known as the 'swell surge' or 'kallakkadal' (as it is locally known), are likely to continue on the eastern coast of India (Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, West Bengal) and Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The term 'kallakkadal' literally means a sea which comes suddenly like a thief. The waves are expected to continue tonight on Kerala coasts and probably in the following days as well. https://lnkd.in/gzSUHxgk #tourism #activities #temporarily #banned #kerala #coastal #areas #precautions #beach #halted #thiruvananthapuram #kollam #alappuzha #thrissur #districts #INCOIS #destinations #bookings #itineraries #emergency #tourismhelpline #travel #traveling #traveladvisor #travelindustry #travelagent TraveLICE TraveLICE Customercare

The state tourism minister recently flagged off the much-anticipated seaplane project, marking a milestone as a 17-seater plane took off from Kochi's Bolgatty and landed at Mattupetty Dam’s newly prepared water drome in Idukki in just 27 minutes. This project aims to connect Kerala's water bodies and major tourist destinations via seaplane services. Unlike traditional planes, seaplanes take off and land on water, allowing passengers to board and disembark at floating water dromes. Initially based in Kochi, the seaplane service will link reservoirs in Kovalam, Kumarakom, Banasura Sagar Dam, and Mattupetty Dam with plans to expand to Ashtamudi, Punnamada, Malampuzha, and Bekal. Given Kerala’s many water bodies, this project shows immense promise. The recent seaplane flag-off brings to mind past protests against development. When the UDF government launched this project in 2013, opposition from left-wing leaders led to its withdrawal. Similarly, about ten years ago, houseboats faced protests, yet they are now a profitable tourist attraction. The same resistance is seen with the seaplane project today. Projects like Kochi Airport, Kochi Metro, Gail Gas, and Vizhinjam Port—initially delayed by anti-development protests—eventually won over many critics, highlighting history's irony. Our tourism sector needs these initiatives, and political affiliations should not be a barrier. Let’s at least emulate neighboring states that support development without political bias. . . #SeaplaneProject #KeralaTourism #WaterDrome #SustainableTravel #TourismDevelopment #KochiToIdukki #AviationInnovation #ExploreKerala #TravelBySeaplane #TourismGrowth
