00:00My name is Sajeev, Tourism Information Officer, Department of Tourism, Government of Kerala.

00:05Today we are organising a partnership meet in Hyderabad.

00:09It is a buyer-seller meet.

00:12The sellers of Kerala are going to meet the buyers of Hyderabad.

00:18And we are expecting more than 150 buyers from Hyderabad to meet the sellers of Kerala.

00:24From Kerala part, there are many tourism stakeholders like hoteliers, tour operators, homestay players, houseboat operators.

00:35Kerala Tourism is providing a platform to meet the buyer-seller in this partnership meet.

00:42From Hyderabad, many tourists are coming to Kerala.

00:46Around 3 lakh tourists are visiting in a year to Kerala.

00:51There is a good connectivity between Hyderabad and Kerala.

00:55The direct flights are from Hyderabad to Kochi.

00:59And also there are many trains from Hyderabad connecting to Kerala.

01:07It reduces the travel time between the two destinations.

01:10Heli Tourism provides tourists three ways.

01:14One is a city ride.

01:16It is a 20-minute ride from the city itself.

01:19And another is a destination-to-destination.

01:21It means if you want to travel from Kochi to Munnar, it will take time, 4 hours journey.

01:27But the helicopter ride will take minimum time, around 40 minutes to reach Kochi to Munnar.

01:34And also this Heli Tourism can be incorporated with the packages.

01:39So for 5 days packages, the tourists can select two destinations for helicopter ride.
