Kerala launched its first government-run surfing school at the seashore facility at Beypore. The School was inaugurated by Kerala Tourism Minister P.A. Mohamed Riyas.
The water-sport institution at Gotheeswaram Beach “has all the potential to earn global attention”, thus boosting the tourism prospects of this Malabar town, Riyas said after formally announcing the surfing school open. “The beach can soon become a sought-after destination and give a fillip to the living standards of local communities known for their harmony and people-friendly nature,” he added.
Welcoming set of novel developmental activities by cooperative ventures led by the youth in Beypore, Riyas lauded state’s Responsible Tourism (RT) Mission which recently celebrated its 15th year.
