Kerala Tourism has come up with a QR-code based virtual travel guide aimed at imparting information on tourism locations in the State. Launching the digital tool at Fort Kochi on Monday, Minister for Tourism P.A. Mohamed Riyas said it would provide information on the distance to the nearest bus stand, railway station and airport, working hours of tourism spots, and their contact numbers. Currently details of Fort Kochi are available on the travel guide.
Visitors who scan the QR code displayed at tourism locales and at important airports will get an e-brochure about the State’s tourism centres. It will provide information on popular and lesser known tourism locales. More such technology-driven services will be popularised in the tourism sector to ensure hassle-free travel, Mr. Riyas added.
