Kerala to promote Ayurvedic wellness and local homestays by 2027
The Kerala government is planning to expand its tourism focus starting in 2027, emphasizing Ayurvedic wellness, local homestays, and cultural festivals. P. C. Vishnunadh, the Minister of Tourism and Culture for the Government of Kerala, stated at the World Travel Market in London that the region offers diverse experiences suitable for all travelers, including backwater cruises, forests, beaches, and local cuisine.
A key component of this strategy is the promotion of Ayurveda, an ancient Indian system of alternative medicine. Beyond simple massages, the state aims to offer comprehensive wellness retreats involving specialized diets, meditation, and physician-led treatment plans based on traditional knowledge.
To ensure tourism benefits local communities, the state is supporting residents who wish to offer accommodations in their homes through subsidies and training programs.
