Kerala farm Tourism

Being a native of Kerala, I always wondered why people even from abroad are eager to visit Kerala. As a child I always wished to be abroad where huge buildings, great lightings and colorful atmosphere really seemed attractive to me. But to my astonishment, people from there are visiting my small Kerala with great enthusiasm. This made me totally confused but finally I found a genuine reason for this. Kerala is least commercialized and the scenic charm here is natural without any human intervention. And this was not the case with other tourist spots around the globe.

I was always crazy about places and maybe it’s that craze which dragged me to the tourism industry.  Kerala is not just famous for its natural beauty but also because of the domination of agriculture sector here. There was a time when the majority people here relied on agriculture for their living. Nowadays even though the people here have shifted to different jobs, agriculture still has a great influence here. Kerala is now witnessing a new trend, farm tourism which is a clear reflection of the farming abundance here.  Farm tourism has great scope here as no extra investment is needed in the same regard. As per reliable sources more than 50 % of geographical area is cropped. Approximately 30 % of this area is occupied by coconut plantations and nearly 350, 000 lakh hectares are used for paddy cultivation.
  

The above mentioned facts stabilize the potential of converting these cropped areas into a honeycomb for tourists. Transferring a part of this benefit to farmers will be a noble thing to anticipate as well. The paddy fields and long strands of coconut trees standing majestically is a view which would keep you enchanted for hours. The cool wind blowing and the tranquil atmosphere will surely make the tourists relished. Thus the place will be suited for honeymoon couples, family or even a young group of friends.

The decision of Government for allowing 5% of farm area to the tourism purpose is a matter to welcome without any debate. Lots of tourists all around the world have started to reach Kerala with a sole intension of enjoying the aesthetic charm of purely natural farmland in Kerala. Recently a lot of tour packages have also started which focuses primarily and even solely on farm lands in Kerala. This latest innovative addition to Kerala tourism can be a great revenue generator for the state and a unique experience for the tourists.
