Twenty-six travel bloggers from across the globe began a fortnight’s trip across Kerala from Kochi on March 21, 2019. The sixth edition of the ‘Kerala Blog Express’ (KBE) was flagged off by Rani George, Secretary, Kerala Tourism at the Grand Hyatt Kochi Bolghatty.

The Blog Express had its first halt at the Kochi-Muziris Biennale, where the prominent social media influencers from 21 countries took a round of India’s biggest contemporary art festival.

The Blog Express this time has a stronger representation from Latin American countries with 16 of its 26 bloggers being women. The journey facilitates the visitors to write and post their experiences real-time, as the luxury coach they were travelling in is equipped with cutting-edge connectivity solutions.
