Waterfronts are dynamic places by nature. As related to human history
and use, waterfronts have a long history of changing types and levels of uses,
and are now coming back into potentially thriving and layered public use.
Waterfront development is now taking place at a furious pace
throughout the world. In almost every major waterfront city dramatic
developments are changing the way people live, work and play.
Ever growing tourism sector at the State level and the Image of a
strong Kerala brand as God‘s Own Country will support Kannur in
implementing its tourism campaigning.
Bangalore, the IT hub of South India is just five hours journey by
road provides tremendous scope for business travellers on weekends. Hence,
Kannur can be marketed as the ‘weekend destination‘ to tap the IT crowd in
Bangalore.
Huge potential for growth in untapped destinations: Lush greenery,
monsoon, beaches, backwaters and highlands are quite common in the district
and there is huge potential for growth in untapped destinations for the right
entrepreneurial talents.
Good potential for beach tourism. Intensity of rainfall is very high.

The proposed International Airport at Kannur with international
standards of safety and comfort is expected to become a reality in the near
future.
The Kannur airport will accelerate the development of Kannur and
Kasargod district, especially in the field of tourism.
The destinations of foreign and domestic tourists start from Kovalam and
end in the backwaters of Alappuzha, though the tourist destinations in Kannur,
Kasargod & Wayanad districts are far more attractive, but are not visited by the
tourists. As this requires lot of time to cover the destination and are not well
connected. The opening of Kannur airport will be a fine solution so that these
places can be accessed by the tourist.
Tourists from India and abroad know that the Payyambalam,
Muzhappilangad beaches are far better than the crowded and tidy beach of
Kovalam. The Kannur airport will be an ultimate solution for the travel problem.
Further cities like
Mysore, Bangalore, Coorg will be accessible from Kannur Airport. The
total tourism business of Malabar will be 20 times greater than it in now.
