Statistics Book 2007.pdf - Kerala Tourism

Table 11.1.36 gives the percentage distribution of Non-Keralite tourists by the state of origin. More than
50% of the tourists were from neighboring States i.e. Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. Tourists
from the western part of the country like Goa, Maharashtra and Gujarat amounted to about 22%. The
table shows that very low proportions of tourists from the remaining states of India are visiting Kerala
and this needs special attention of our planners and promoters. Graph 11.1.12 shows the state-wise
arrival of tourists.
