 When the development of mankind is traced back, the first and foremost activity that mankind undertook happens to be the search of food. "Food gatherers" can be treated as the first "travelers" and since then the urge of mankind to engage in travel has been growing. Many milestones, such as the invention of currency and transport mechanisms were surpassed, and today that activity has grown into a large, diverse industry with plenty of social and economic dimensions.
Today, people undertake holidays to explore new lands, witness diverse cultures, celebrate events and occasions, indulge in adventure and be away from the daily chores of modern day living.
 Tucked away in the southern most part of India and abutted by the Arabian sea, Kerala is one of the most sought after holiday destinations in the world with clean sandy beaches and nature at her lushest and greenest. Other than being listed as one of the best destinations in world, Kerala was also listed as one of the 50 must visit places in the world by National Geographic Traveller.
