To promote Kerala as a global wedding destination and paradise for honeymooners, the state government “has announced a project to do aggressive digital and airport-based marketing campaigns”, informed Sreekumar S, deputy director (in-charge) of Kerala Tourism, as part of the Kerala Tourism Partnership Meet 2023.

Kerala has 17 wildlife sanctuaries, 5 national parks and 19 serial sites of Western Ghats that fall under the UNESCO World Heritage list. Amidst its deciduous, evergreen and shola forests live some of the Earth’s endangered species of flora and fauna.
