J. P. Cone

For many, especially to those from abroad, Kerala is a place to enjoy nature and its many vistas. But for Mr. J. P. Cone it is the history and culture of Kerala that attracted him the most. Mr. Cone works for Celebrity Tours, which operates from New York and South Africa. The company is into developing suitable sporting holidays from around the world with the participation of famous personalities, especially from the field of sports and films.

Even though a first timer to Kerala, Mr. Cone found the people out here to be extremely friendly and felt it quite easy to meet and make contacts with them. With his focus on evolving sporting tours for his clients back in America, Mr. Cone is on the look out for a suitable tour package from Kerala that has scope for golfing, fishing, houseboats and a little bit of historical as well as cultural entities.

Mr. Cone while in Kochi was most impressed by the old charm of Kochi and the facets of history tagged to it, especially the Jewish Synagogue, the Chinese fishing nets etc. According to Mr. Cone the sporting holiday teams are often led by famous American athletes, and out here in India, his company is in touch with some of the cricket stars and also popular film personalities in Bollywood to promote various sporting tour packages in the near future.

About his plans to make Kerala more known to his clients back home in USA, a special section would be developed for Kerala in the new website of his company and would also bring out brochures specifically for the purpose. To Mr. Cone, the most ascinating thing about Kerala was the harmonious co-existence of so many people from different cultural and religious backgrounds, which he believes adds a new dimension to the immense natural beauty of Kerala. Even though he found it difficult to name some of the Kerala dishes that he tried during his brief stay, nevertheless he enjoyed all of them very much. He was also particularly impressed by few hotels located in Kochi, which he feels are ideal ones for the kind of clients he deals with.
