Kerala Tourism is all set to promote the Spice Route from Kerala to the West.
The idea to revive the segment was revealed by Kerala Tourism at a presentation during the three-day international meeting on Silk Road tourism, organised by the United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) in the Chinese city of Dunhuang.
Suman Bila, secretary of Kerala Tourism who made the presentation emphasized on the importance of the route that linked 31 countries in Asia and Europe with India, particularly Kerala, as a major hub.
“With the recent archaeological evidences excavated from Muziris, the major port of entry to India from the West for the ancient spice trade, we have been presented with a historic opportunity to revive the Spice Route for the modern world,” Bila was quoted as saying by the Business Standard.
By revising the Spice Route, we will be able to respect a significant heritage shared by facilitating people from 31 countries of the world to once again travel the road used by traders from over 2,000 years,” he added.
