It's heartening to note that the 'Responsible Tourism Mission' is set to launch village life experience(VLE) tourism in Kozhikode. The project will be first executed in Olavanna-Kadalundi region. An interesting aspect is that the participants get an opportunity to interact with the locals and get an idea about their lives.
Accordingly, foreign and domestic tourists reaching Kozhikode will be able to visit village destinations to experience the tradition and culture of that area which encompass the works of traditional artisans, farmers and the lives of the other villagers. To encourage wholehearted participation, every artist and worker, who demonstrate their work to the visitors, will get an income.
Fishermen, coconut tree climbers, paddy farmers and all those who constitute the village life will become part of the VLE. A tourist interested to know the nuances of climbing a coconut tree will be assisted by the traditional climbers with the help of coconut climbing machines. Similarly, one who is interested in making clay pots will get a chance to experience the art of pottery.
The other aspects related to this initiative are:-
(a) Skill development training will be provided to the artisans.
(b) The tourists will be provided accommodation in home stays and farm stays in the region.
(c) More spots that have a tourism potential will be added to the network in due course.
Tailpiece.
An exhibition of photographs and details of plant species is currently on at Poyilkavu. This is to raise awareness about the rarest groves in the state, again at Kozhikode. Environment protection has become an important subject!
