DTPC to develop more tourism locales in Kochi city

Lull in arrival of visitors to destinations outside city
The Ernakulam District Tourism Promotion Council (DTPC) would invest in readying more tourism destinations within the city, alongside maintaining locales in the suburbs considering the lull in the arrival of visitors to destinations outside the city.
A feasibility study would be done for the purpose. This was among the key points that were decided at a review meeting convened here by T. G. Abhilash, Deputy Director of Kerala Tourism. It was also decided to set a deadline for maintenance works at destinations managed by the DTPC.
The meeting also took stock of ₹62-lakh renovation works that Cochin Smart Mission Limited (CSML) would do at Durbar Hall Ground in the city. This comes in the wake of the tiled walkway of the ground giving away at many places, posing danger to regular walkers and others who visit the 1.50-acre open space in the city. The last major renovation work was done over a decade ago.
Nearly 50% of Dakshina Kannada’s shoreline has been eroded, the highest among the three coastal districts of Karnataka, according to a study for the period 1990-2018 by the National Centre for Coastal Research (NCCR).
