Close on the
heels of Kerala Tourism winning the coveted Responsible Tourism Global Award at
London World Travel Market (WTM), the state has been declared the best wedding
destination for the year 2022 by the leading magazine Travel + Leisure India
& South Asia.

“Serene
backwaters, massive palms, and the perfect weather. This is one of the many
reasons why Kerala has been voted the best wedding destination by you!” the
magazine report said.

It further
stated that Kerala, with its many architectural, culinary, and nature-based
offerings, coupled with its surreal beauty and picture-perfect aesthetic, has
emerged as a charming destination for tying the knot.

“We have
been making concerted efforts to project Kerala as a destination that is known
not only for its enchanting natural beauty, rollicking beaches, and exquisite
cuisines but also as a perfect getaway for wedding events and honeymooners. The
popular voting for the state as the best wedding destination in the country is
an eloquent testimony to it,” Tourism Minister P. A. Mohamed Riyas said.

Kerala
Tourism Deputy Director-in-Charge S. Sreekumar received the award at a function
recently held in New Delhi, which was attended by an impressive gathering that
included well-known designers Rohit Gandhi and Rahul Khanna and supermodel
Sonalika Sahay.
