More Details

India's rich and diverse rural landscape, encompassing various cultures and heritage, presents a significant opportunity for the development of rural tourism. By harnessing this potential, rural tourism can create employment opportunities and foster sustainable livelihoods for local communities, thereby contributing to the growth of vibrant local economies. Additionally, rural tourism plays a crucial role in the preservation and promotion of rural Indian culture.

The impact of tourism extends beyond economic benefits, as it also contributes to poverty reduction by providing income-generating opportunities. Moreover, it facilitates the revival and rejuvenation of traditional arts and crafts, as well as the preservation of rural Indian cultural practices. The growth of rural tourism further stimulates economic growth and enhances foreign exchange earnings. This, in turn, enables the introduction of rural, organic, and ethnic products to potential buyers, promoting local entrepreneurship and facilitating market access.

The organization is a fast-growing network that specializes in rural, village, agro, and farm tourism in Kerala. Its ultimate goal is to become the largest rural, farm tourism, and organic product network in India. As a startup, it has been self-funded and has relied on bootstrapping to sustain its operations and facilitate its expansion.
