Kerala has achieved a milestone by securing the distinction of having the highest number of five-star hotels in the country.
This was revealed in the latest data available in the National Database for Accommodation units.
Kerala
has surpassed states like Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Goa which are
popular amongst the tourists and corporates as convenient locations.
According
to the rankings, Maharashtra has taken the second position with a total
of 35 five-star hotels, Goa ranks third with 32 five star properties
followed by the national capital Delhi with 27 five-star hotels.
P.B
Nooh, director, Kerala tourism stated while the government plays a
major role in developing infrastructure and amenities, private players
develop amenities provided to them, helping increase the influx of
national and international tourists to Kerala.
Rahul Raj, General
Manager, Hyatt Regency Trivandrum, a recent but notable addition to the
state’s five star property portfolio said not only does this put us on a
pedestal projecting Kerala as a most sought-after destination for
leisure and MICE but also plays a major role in creating more
opportunities for career development in the hospitality sector.
Shruti

serves as a strong catalyst, motivating us to actively promote and
enhance the hospitality and tourism industry in Kerala.
