Kerala Tourism minister PA Mohamed Riyas has launched a virtual travel guide that gives access to all information on tourism locations through QR Code for visitors to the state.

The new digital tool will provide all relevant information such as distance to the nearest bus-stand, railway station and airport, tourist destination’s working hours and its contact numbers, the minister said after inaugurating the facility in Fort Kochi.

The e-brochure will be set up across the state’s tourism centres and airports within and outside the country. More content will be brought in the e-brochure, including information on places of tourism potential not widely known. More such technology-driven facilities will be popularised in tourism sector in the coming months to ensure hassle-free travel, Riyas revealed.
