The Kerala tourism department will launch a year-long umbrella package 'Visit Kerala Year 2009' from January to woo domestic travellers to tide over the impact of the global downturn and the terror attack in Mumbai, state Tourism Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan said on Wednesday.
"Under the package, focus will be on Tier II cities," he told reporters here.
He also said 60 projects, promising an investment of Rs 1,000 crore, were showcased at the 'Inte Naadu' meet of Non-Resident Keralites here on Tuesday.
To ensure speedy implementation of the projects, a single window system would be set up, he said, adding Tourism Director M Shivashankar has been appointed nodal officer.
