Kerala Tourism launches mobile app

Kerala Tourism Department yesterday launched its mobile app which ensures hassle-free travel for tourists coming to Kerala and giving them an opportunity to discover unexplored attractions themselves and record their impressions during the visit.
Superstar Mohanlal unveiled the app at The Raviz, Kovalam, in the presence of Tourism Minister Shri P A Mohamed Riyas, Dr V Venu, IAS, Additional Chief Secretary, Kerala Tourism.
“Besides providing all information about destinations and services at your fingertips, a key feature of this app is that it identifies unexplored destinations in all panchayats in Kerala. It will help attract local tourist spots to grab global attention,” Shri Mohamed Riyas said.
Shri Mohanlal said that the launch of the app would be a blessing for travellers, who would like to explore God’s Own Country extensively.

Dr Venu said that the app was designed with a view to providing all services to tourists. It has the facility to add user-generated content, and thus, going forward, it can give a kind of modular growth.”
The in-progress app is designed in such a way that a visitor gets the opportunity to write about any unexplored destinations and experiences through the option ‘Create Story’. 
The app will be further upgraded with more innovative features within six months. In the next phase of the app, tourists can make enquiries using ‘Voice Assistant’ facility, which will give answers through voice, eliminating the difficulty in typing letters.
Moreover, the app makes the current toilet mapping activities very fast as it helps those travelling inside Kerala to find out safe and hygienic restrooms nearby. Tourists can also explore restaurants and eateries that offer delicious Kerala cuisine and relish local flavours as per their choice.
