Water sports terminal to come up on island, houseboats to be introduced Close on the heels of notifying Kadamakkudy as an official tourism destination, the Tourism Department has chalked out a project worth ₹5 crore for the idyllic network of islands, which is already a popular hub of cyclists and birdwatchers on account of the presence of migratory birds.
The project is proposed on an acre of land in the possession of the Kadamakkudy grama panchayat, for which no-objection certificate will have to be secured from the Panchayat Department.
“Among other things, the project proposes to develop a water sports terminal and introduce houseboats. A walking trail is also planned to introduce visitors to the culture and livelihoods of the islanders, including fishing and agriculture. The narrow walkways cutting through the lush green fields will be fortified for the purpose,” said S. Vijayakumar, secretary, District Tourism Promotion Council (DTPC).
