Kerala and Abu Dhabi have agreed to work together for the development of tourism. That will help Kerala’s moves to revive the travel and hospitality sector from downturn it has suffered due to the pandemic.

The understanding was reached during discussions between PA Mohamed Riyas, Tourism Minister of Kerala and Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak, Chairman of Department of Culture and Tourism, Abu Dhabi in Abu Dhabi.

Riyas has led a Kerala Tourism delegation to UAE as part of the Kerala Week that coincides with Expo2020 Dubai. The understanding will be formalised through an MoU.

“This understanding will impart great momentum to our tourism initiatives. Kerala tourism is now recovering from the Covid-induced crisis and this tie-up comes as a breakthrough.”

The Minister invited Al Mubarak to be the Guest of Honor at the Kerala Travel Mart scheduled to be held in Kochi in May 2022. Accepting the invitation to visit Kerala, Al Mubarak said he looked forward to a fruitful trip to Kerala that will lead to a robust partnership in the tourism sector.

Al Mubarak, who is also Chairman of Abu Dhabi’s state-owned infrastructure development company, Aldar, said that he would explore the possibilities of Aldar making investments in Kerala’s tourism sector as part of the cooperation.

A high-level delegation from Abu Dhabi will visit Kerala in May to hold discussions. “This understanding will impart great momentum to our tourism initiatives. Kerala tourism is now recovering from the Covid-induced crisis and this tie-up comes as a breakthrough,” Riyas said.
