| Kerala MICE Tourism | ||
| Kerala is on the southernmost tip of India. It stretches along the coast of the Arabian Sea and is separated from the rest of the sub continent by the steep Western Ghats. The state lies between 80 18 ' and 120 48 ' north latitude and 740 52' and 770 22' east longitude. The breadth of the state varies from 32 kms in the extreme north and south to over 120 kms in the middle | ||
| Kerala – God’s Own Country is a best compilation of the best conference facility in India. Conferences can be hosted at Backwater Resorts, Beach Resorts, Hill Resorts, City Hotels etc.. | ||
| Right climate round the year. Packed with a plethora of tourism opportunities. Pouring business interests and rapid economic growth. Three international airports strategically located at equidistance and an ideally suited attractive international convention center. Already established as leisure and culture tourism destination, the God’s Own Country is fast emerging as a business and meetings hot-hub, better known as Meetings Incentives Conventions and Exhibitions (MICE) destination | ||
| Convention or business tourism is no more a conventional type of tourism, which formerly meant only business and nothing else. Things have changed for better. Business combined with leisure is the take-me-all ticket to heaven. After all who wants to come and gather in an exotic place for just one purpose, spending hundreds or thousands of dollars for that matter, only to pack up and go off, after a sober and straight jacket-and-tie business conference or a soul-rousing religious convention, without experiencing the charm of the place visited | ||
