New campaign ideas that can be implemented in foreign countries will be informed in the comment box.”

Netizens on social media praised the state tourism department’s effort towards promoting Kerala tourism on foreign soil. This is the second time that such an initiative has been taken by the state government. In 2018, five London double-decker buses with visuals from Kerala were run across the city. The experiment was carried out with the iconic red buses, catching the attention of the commuters and the general public in London. Prior to that, the department successfully branded Kerala on taxis across London, Birmingham and Glasgow.
