The IKGS coincides with a surge in tourist arrivals as Kerala evolves into an all-season, experiential tourist destination.

According to the organising committee, Kerala draws about 2.3 crore tourists annually. Tourism contributes over 10 per cent to the state’s GDP and employs 24 per cent of the workforce. The summit will feature 29 sessions on topics such as wellness and sustainable tourism, and explore scaling up infrastructure in destinations like the backwaters, beaches and hill stations, while highlighting the new hotspots. Minister P Rajeeve said the state had solidified its position as a hub of tourism and destination weddings.
