Kerala Tourism Minister P. A. Mohamed Riyas will inaugurate the Convention Center constructed by the Department of Tourism as part of the second phase of infrastructure development activities at Veli Tourist Village here on Wednesday.
The 27,000-square-foot lakefront facility has been built at a cost of Rs 20 crore and has high-end features of global standards, strengthening the state’s standing as a fast-growing MICE tourism hub.
The first floor of the convention center can accommodate around 750 people, and the dining hall has space for 300 guests. Besides, around 60 vehicles can be parked at a time at the complex.
The work of the Convention Center was awarded to the Uralungal Labour Contract Co-Operative Society (ULCCS).
A busy tourism spot that attracts both inbound tourists and a preferred joint for family outings, Veli Tourism Village has added several new features and amenities in recent years, including the Miniature Train that is a big hit among children, created as part of the first phase of infrastructure development.
