It is a challenge to curate a holistic touristic experience which connects a viewer to be a part of responsible tourism though comprehending traditional skill development, address conserving ecosystems of cultural and natural environments. The challenge is going beyond packaged tourism. The forthcoming tour on Kerala is an example of such a program.
Kerala has been the flagship destination of the campaign on Incredible India, however, the packaged experiences on Kerala leave out several aspects of cultural, economic, historical layers which contribute to the appellation of Incredible India. Dr Navina Jafa has curated a travel experience that will bring to participants the ethos of Kerala in a holistic manner. For example, the experiences of the backwaters incorporate the visit to villages bringing in to view and understand history, legends, rituals and festivals associated with traditional skills such as the tradition of Snake backwater boats, folk dances, cuisine and much more.
