Stop, Take a Break and Move On

Kerala Tourism will soon come up with wayside amenity centres that come with restrooms and food courts across the State. The move will enable travellers to relax and refresh in between their tour of Kerala. 

The wayside amenity centres known as ‘Take-A-Rest’ will have facilities for refreshment, cloakroom, souvenir shop-cum-information kiosk, store for essentials, ATM, reservation check-in facilities, medicinal spa and space for parking.

“These wayside amenity centres will be of uniform standard and will provide travelers the much needed break while travelling by road,” said Mr. A. P. Anilkumar, Minister for Tourism, Kerala while announcing the project at a press conference held recently in Thiruvananthapuram. 

In the first phase of the project, priority will be for setting up amenity centres on the National Highway. The plan is to construct amenity centres of 500 to 1000 sq.ft which would fall in A, B and C categories, depending on the extent of land and the facilities offered. Kerala Tourism will operate the complexes in the beginning with the help of the District Tourism Promotion Councils.
