Bakel Fort, Kasargod
Association of Tourism Trade Organizations India (ATTOI), is organizing its Annual Convention in Kasargod from 6th to 8th December 2018.
Members of ATTOI from all over India will participate in the convention. Almost 50 members are expected to participate in the convention.
Usually conventions and MICE events are held in popular tourist destinations like, Thiruvananthapuram, Alappuzha, Munnar, Thekkady etc. However, ATTOI has decided to focus their attention to northern Kerala for its annual convention.
“Kasargod has been chosen as the venue to introduce the tourism potential of the Malabar region,” said Vinod CS, President of ATTOI.
“Kerala Tourism basically focused in popular destinations like Thiruvananthapuram, Alappuzha, Munnar, Thekkady etc. Meanwhile, There is huge potential for tourism in the Malabar region. Malabar still has a lot of untouched virgin destinations. Rich in heritage, culture and history, a number of tourism destinations in Malabar still remain unexplored,” said Vinod.
“Malabar is also famous for its indigenous cuisines. The newly opened Kannur International Airport is a door opener to world tourism as far as Malabar is concerned,” added Vinod.
The convention aims at bringing together it’s members and share their ideas and suggestions for the better running of the organisation.
