WHY - KERALA
In recent years, Kerala has achieved a reputation of being one of the most popular tourist destinations in India. International tourist arrivals to Kerala stand at over 5 lakhs, while domestic tourist arrivals have crossed the 60 lakhs mark. Tourism generates over Rs. 10,000 crores for the state economy. A just - released World Bank study ranks Kerala, upped only by Karnataka, as the most optimistic State for investment. Kerala performs very well on all the three categories of indicators including  infrastructure, institutions and inputs.

Inspite of the global meltdown in tourism, many international & local hotel chains are still investing in new hotel properties and upgrading existing ones in the State. A host of reputed hotel chains have already announced plans for their new properties in Kerala. Some of them include Aitken Spence - Heritance Kochi , Bergguen Hotels- Keys Resort will start their projects late 2009,  while Taj Group has already opened their new hotel- Taj Residency, Trivandrum and Hampshire Group, their 2nd hotel in India- Dream, Kochi.
