Keeping tourism centres across the State spotless and tidy along with well-maintained hygienic conditions by considering it as a serious activity is crucial to maintain the reputation of Kerala as a major tourism hub of India, P. A. Mohamed Riyas, the Tourism Minister has recently said. While speaking on the occasion of World Tourism Day after inaugurating the State-level clean-up program, arranged on the international event at Shangumugham beach in Thiruvananthapuram, on Tuesday. Mr. Riyas said that the right kind of maintenance of the state destinations is a critical part of tourism development, which is a jointly responsibility of all stakeholders.

He also said that maintaining the state destinations and keeping them clean should be a constant process, and not something done only on a particular day of a year. This is important to make sure for sustainable and inclusive development of tourism. This year’s theme of World Tourism Day, this idea has been reinforced, said the Minister.

Lauding the initiations of campus Tourism Clubs, Mr. Riyas mentioned that college students and their voluntary activities would help public in developing awareness on the importance of keeping the tourism destinations spotless as well as attractive. The Transport Minister, Antony Raju, while presiding over the function, said that as tourists always favor locales that are clean, it’s important to maintain the destinations clean and healthy. This message has been put across to the public through the State-wide cleaning program.
