Beypore to be declared premier tourism destination in 2024
Tourists will be able to have an unadulterated experience of the life and lifestyle of Beypore once it becomes a premium Responsible Tourism destination, Tourism Minister P.A. Mohamed Riyas has said.
Launching a comprehensive tourism development project for Beypore under the aegis of the Responsible Tourism Mission here on Sunday, the Minister said the project would result in economic development, better standard of life, and empowerment of all sections in Beypore.
Mr. Riyas said Beypore was the gateway to India once and an undisputed commercial development centre of Malabar. This historical significance of the region coupled with the present day attractions is a heady mix of factors suitable for a perfect tourism destination, he added, pointing out that the tile factories, bird sanctuary, estuary, and mangrove forests, besides the Uru industry and cultural attractions would be part of it.
