Heli-tourism in Kerala.

Heli-tourism project is being launched as part of Kerala Tourism 2.0 - a major announcement in the budget. To quote sources, "Many stakeholders from Kerala and other states are ready to invest in the project. Many participants in the Tourism Investors Meet 2023 held in Thiruvananthapuram, too, have expressed interest".

As per the current plan, following are the price tags for various offers :-

 * Brief heli-rides Rs.6,000/- to Rs.10,000/- (Hourly/half hourly rides) per head.
 * Rides to a specific destination will cost around Rs.1 Lakh depending on the destination, head-count,
    luxury and other services provided by the operators). 
 * The cost of various tourism packages will range from Rs.2.5 lakhs to Rs.10 lakhs.

In the initial phase, the project will cover 10 major destinations including Munnar, Kumarakom, Bekal, Alappuzha, Jatayu Earth Centre and Thiruvananthapuram.

Growing traffic is one of the concerns hampering tourism activities in the state. Presently, tourists spend a lot of their time in travelling distances to reach destinations.

And finally, besides tourism, these choppers can be used for medical purposes in transporting patients.

My take

A futuristic project!


Tailpiece.

Got up at a trifle before 6, the chores and was ready by a half past 7.

Today's dad's 11th Remembrance Day and I'd offered the 'bali tharpanam' at our courtyard.

Washing machinex of bed-linen.

The pain is reducing, slowly but steadily.
