Adventure tourism activities will give a boost to the tourism sector, Tourism Minister P.A. Mohamed Riyas has said.
He was speaking after inaugurating the newly constructed cantilever glass bridge, touted to be the country’s largest, and adventure park at Wagamon in Idukki on Wednesday. Mr. Riyas said that adventure tourism activities were gaining popularity in the world tourism sector. “It is a matter of pride that the country’s largest cantilever glass bridge is in the State,” said the Minister.
“The project, as part of the efforts to develop tourism destinations, is being implemented by investing 60% of the cost by the Tourism department and the rest by the local body. Steps will be taken to set up a toilet complex at Wagamon,” said Mr. Riyas.
