Tourism Department allots ₹93 lakh for the development of the destination
The development of the Thikkodi beach in Kozhikode into Kerala’s safest drive-in beach is again in focus with the latest allocation of ₹93 lakh by the Tourism Department. Countering local resistance through negotiations, the department plans to develop the 5-km seashore with better amenities to greet both domestic and international tourists. Interlocked pavements, bamboo fencing, huts, attractive seating arrangements, theme park for children, and clean comfort stations are the amenities to be readied in the first phase of the project. The proposed boat service from Thikkodi to Velliyankallu, a rocky area located nearly 12 km off the coast, is also expected to pep up the tourism potential of the destination.
