    Press Release Muzhappilangad, Dharmadam Projects to Elevate Kannur Tourism Hub Status Kannur, Feb. 20: As Part of Kerala Tourism

    Press Release Muzhappilangad, Dharmadam projects to elevate Kannur tourism hub status Kannur, Feb. 20: As part of Kerala Tourism’s ambitious plan to pitchfork Kannur as North Kerala’s tourism hub, work will start soon on the Rs 52.54 crore first-stage development of the Muzhappilangad Beach, one of the few drive-in beaches in Asia, and the picturesque Dharmadam Beach and Island projects. The project at an overall cost of Rs 233.72 crores is a key ingredient of Kerala Tourism’s aggressive campaign to promote the Malabar region and has immense potential to put Kannur on the world tourism map. Featured by the BBC among the top six best beaches for driving in the world, Dharmadam is surrounded by rivers on three sides and the Arabian sea on one side. Dharmadam Island offers a picture-perfect view of the confluence of Anjarakandy and Thalassery Rivers. “The development offers a great opportunity to attract a large number of tourists to this stunning destination, which is heavily under-utilising its tourism potential,” said Tourism Minister Shri Kadakampally Surendran. The estimated footfall owing to the development is estimated to be 1.8 – 2.0 million visitors per annum. This will contribute to augment the GDP of the state, he said adding that the project is anticipated to transform the location and offer development opportunities for other businesses and industries in the region. With a new International Airport at Kannur, the three tourism sites are now accessible by air from major domestic and international tourist destinations. Muzhappilangad, where more than 30 species of migratory birds including the Pectoral Sandpiper and Caspian Plover visit every winter and Dharmadam, once known as an important Buddhist centre, are located about 27 km from the Kannur International Airport and it takes about 30 minutes to reach the site from the Kannur Railway Station.
