K E R A L A TRAVEL MART

Since its launch, almost two decades back in 2000, KTM has gone from strength to strength, to become a major tourism event that attracts the attention of the whole world.

Over the years, the Mart has become a unique platform for the world to reach out and connect to Kerala, thus playing a key role in the State’s tourism success story.

O¬ffering equal opportunity to small and big players alike, the Mart also celebrates the unique synergy that exists between the public and private partners in Kerala’s tourism industry.

KTM 2018 symbolises the resurgence of Kerala Tourism. It is a tribute to the tourism trade that stood together and helped Kerala rise above the floods that the State witnessed recently.

I am sure this year’s event, which is bigger in both size and scale, will o¬ffer even better opportunities for the delegates to discover more about God’s Own Country and forge new relations with the people behind it. It will bring them closer to unseen Malabar as well as new products like the Neelakurinji, Jatayupara and Biennale.

I wish the Mart all success.

Rani George IAS Tourism Secretary

Message

I hope at Kerala Travel Mart 2018-to be conducted from September 27th to 30th 2018- our visitors from around the world will witness firsthand the variety of tourism activities in Kerala.

I am sure descriptions and illustrations in the handbook released by Metro Mart and Kerala Travel Mart Society would be beneficial to the tourism community for better planning and organizing their visits to Kerala I wish that all delegates and participants at Kerala Travel Mart 2018 have successful event and pleasant experience of Kerala.
