Photo frames to attract tourists to Idukki
The District Tourism Promotion Council (DTPC) has set up photo frames in seven major tourism destinations in Idukki to give tourists a chance to click photos and selfies.
Photo frames have been set up in Wagamon Meadows, Wagamon Adventure Park, Idukki Hill View Park, Panchalimedu, Ramakkalmedu, Aruvikuzhi and Sreenarayanapuram.
DTPC secretary Jithesh Jose said that most tourists arriving at the locations were clicking selfies and photos in front of the photo frames. 'The frames have been set up in the most suitable locations in each tourism destination. Some of the photo frames are moveable,' said Mr. Jose.
'The project has been set up at ₹38 lakh,' said Mr. Jose.
'We hope the photo frames will attract more tourists to the destinations in the district,' said the official.
Tourism Minister P.A. Mohamed Riyas will inaugurate the photo frames in Idukki on Saturday (May 17).
History of migration
The Minister will also inaugurate the Kudiyetta Smarakam (settlement memorial) at Idukki Park near the Idukki arch dam in the district on Saturday. According to officials, the museum exhibits depict the history of migration to Idukki from different parts of the State. The museum is being set up by the Tourism department at ₹3 crore.
Agitations by migrant farmers have also been portrayed in the museum.
