'Jet2Kerala' Jet Airways and Kerala Tourism launch

Private carrier Jet Airways has joined hands with Kerala Tourism to offer travel packages to customers visiting the south Indian state amid ongoing holiday season. 

Under the initiative, Jet2Kerala packages would be offered to travellers catering various price points, the carrier said in a statement on Wednesday. 

Travellers can also choose from a range of accommodation options which ranges from luxury properties to budget hotels and houseboats. Travellers can book these packages through Kerala Tourism's website or through travel agents. 

Kerala tourism secretary V Venu said despite the global downturn, international tourist traffic showed a 16.11% growth in 2008, and that Kerala tourism was focusing on the domestic market, given the increasing propensity for travel in this market. 

Jet Airways chief commercial manager Sudheer Raghavan said the tie-up was part of the airline’s efforts to boost domestic travel and tourism, and that the “compelling value proposition would spur more travelers to visit Kerala this year”. 

“Jet Airways has always sought to promote tourism both internationally as well as within India. We are confident that the compelling value proposition on offer will spur more travellers to visit Kerala this year,'' Jet Airways Chief Commercial Officer Mr Sudheer Raghavan said. 

“With Jet2Kerala, we are delivering a product, whereby Kerala is more within the reach of the domestic traveller,'' Kerala's Tourism Secretary Mr V Venu said. 

Jet Airways, together with its all-economy entity JetLite, connect Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi and Kozhikode in Kerala with various parts of the country.
