Turning to the tourism sector, Minister Riyas emphasises its immense potential and the transformative impact it can have on people’s lives.

Through strategic collaborations with local self-government institutions, private partnerships, and cooperative institutions, projects like Destination Challenge are set to propel Kerala’s tourism sector to new heights.
