Kerala Government Promotes Accessible Tourism Model
Suman Billa, Additional Secretary and Director General of the Ministry of Tourism, spoke at the 'Kerala for All – Tourism Without Barriers' conclave in Kochi on Feb. 1, 2026, urging integration of accessibility across tourism projects. He called for implementing provisions beyond paper, adopting assistive technologies powered by artificial intelligence, and school-level sensitisation to create a world-class inclusive tourism model.
Key Points
- 1Calls to integrate accessibility across all Kerala tourism infrastructure, not just isolated projects
- 2Highlights gap between mandated accessibility provisions and poor on-ground implementation across projects
- 3Urges use of assistive AI, school-level sensitisation, and policy-led movement for universal accessibility
Scoring Rationale
Official policy push and concrete AI suggestions increase relevance; limited novelty and Kerala-specific scope constrain wider industry impact.
