Thiruvananthapuram, Sept. 27: Keeping tourism centres across the state clean and hygienic by taking it up as a continuous activity is vitally important to maintain Kerala’s reputation as a major tourism hub, Tourism Minister Shri P A Mohamed Riyas said today.
Inaugurating the state-wide clean-up programme on World Tourism Day at Shangumugham beach here, Shri Mohamed Riyas said, “proper maintenance of our destinations is a critical component of tourism development, which is a collective responsibility of all stakeholders.”
“Maintaining our destinations clean and well-kept should be a continuous process, and not something limited to a particular day. This is essential to ensure sustainable and inclusive development of the tourism sector. This idea has been reinforced by this year’s World Tourism Day theme, which is Rethinking Tourism,” the Minister said.
Lauding the efforts of campus Tourism Clubs, he said the voluntary activities of the college students would create awareness among the public on the importance of keeping the tourism destinations clean and attractive.

The chief guest of the function, Shri AA Rahim MP, said the campus Tourism Clubs would help maintain the high standards of tourism centres in the state.
After the inaugural function Shri Riyas, Shri Antony Raju and Shri Rahim joined the Tourism Club members gathered at Shangumugham beach, marking the commencement of the programme.
