Adding yet another feather to its cap, Kerala Tourism's Responsible Tourism initiative has earned the coveted gold in the 'Best Future Forward State' category at the sixth edition of the Indian Responsible Tourism Awards.

This is the 11th award that Kerala’s Responsible Tourism Mission has earned since its launch in 2017, including six international awards like WTM’s Gold, PATA Gold, World Sustainable Tourism Award and so on.

“This recognition underlines the fact that Kerala has become a successful model for the whole country for sustainable tourism development,” said Ms. Rani George IAS, Principal Secretary Tourism, Government of Kerala.
