Kerala Tourism’s flagship event – The Kerala Travel Mart which was all set to go offline after the 2021 event being held virtually following the pandemic, has received a tremendous response.
Scheduled to be held at Kochi from May 5 to 8, the inaugural session will be on May 5. Baby Mathew, President of KTM Society the organiser of the event, said so far 374 foreign buyers and 1171 domestic buyers had registered for participation in the event, and the number was set to go up in the coming days.
“Arrangements are progressing well for the conduct of the business sessions in a hassle-free manner by adhering to Covid appropriate behaviour. We expect a meaningful buyer seller meet and interactions beneficial to all the participants.”
— Baby Mathew, President of KTM Society
“The industry’s response to the ensuing edition of KTM has been extremely encouraging, especially after the Government of India announced its decision to lift air travel restrictions this month. The enquiries so far have even surpassed the response received by the pre-pandemic KTM conclaves”, said Mathew. The pro-active steps taken by the Kerala Tourism Department for the quick revival of tourism in the state have imparted an added thrust to KTM, he said.
Though the prime focus of this edition will be on the domestic buyers, the travel and tourism entrepreneurs from abroad were also showing great interest in participation, he said. “Arrangements are progressing well for the conduct of the business sessions in a hassle-free manner by adhering to Covid appropriate behaviour. We expect a meaningful buyer seller meet and interactions beneficial to all the participants,” Mathew said.
