Heritage Tourism Development Authority need of the hour, says NGO
A Kochi Heritage Tourism Development Authority must be constituted for the conservation and upkeep of historic monuments and locales in Fort Kochi, Mattancherry, Kumbalanghi, and Chellanam, Kerala Heritage and Tourism Society (K-HATS) has said.
The State Government, Kerala Tourism, and allied agencies are doing precious little in the sector, despite the Lonely Planet travel guide mentioning Kochi as one among the 10 must-see global destinations, it said. Government agencies have not even bothered to place boards detailing the historic significance of many monuments.
Several projects remain in a half-baked state owing to lack of monitoring and official apathy, said office-bearers of the NGO at its general body at Kumbalanghi on Thursday.
