The Tourism department has come out with a project to transform Aanathazhchira, near Technocity, at Pallippuram here into a nightlife tourism destination, as part of an initiative to develop unexplored spots to attract tourists.
The project will be implemented on 16.7 acres of land owned by the Revenue department and the Andoorkonam grama panchayat.
PPP model
The Department of Tourism will implement the nightlife tourism project in the Public Private Partnership (PPP) model by including it under the initiatives that came up in the Tourism Investors Meet (TIM). An expression of interest (EoI) for construction activities will be floated in September.
A freedom park by the Kerala Startup Mission (KSUM) will also come up on the fringes of the project area. The park, which will have an exhibition space featuring latest innovations by start-ups, will be the country’s first such park by a start-up mission. Water adventure sports, an eco-friendly park for children and a cycle track will be part of the eco-friendly project.
Revenue Minister K. Rajan will hand over the title deed of the land to Tourism Minister P.A. Mohamed Riyas at a function to be held at Aanathazhchira on Wednesday. Minister for Food and Civil Supplies G.R. Anil, the local MLA, had proposed the project considering the immense potential of the place and its proximity to Technocity. Mr. Anil will preside over the function.
