Kerala homestay is a program promoted by Kerala Tourism Department, which allows tourists to Kerala, to live
in a Kerala
home and
get to
know the
culture
and lifestyle
of this
land in
a better
way.
‘Feel at
home‘, is
the concept
which gave
birth to
the practice
called Homestay.
Tourists
who travel
and reach
far away
places always
find it hard
to get accustomed
to the culture
of distinct
places. Living
along with
the natives,
in their
own houses and
environment,
helps travelers
to know the
lifestyle,
language,
cuisines,
religion
and every
aspect of
the local
culture,
in the best
way possible.
The Government
of Kerala
and the Department
of Tourism
are giving
tremendous
support to
the concept
of Kerala
Homestay,
as it helps
to promote
the rich
and varied
cultural
heritage
of Kerala.
Initially,
the non availability
of homestays
in Kerala
was a major
issue. But
thrust given
by Kerala
Tourism in
promoting
the concept
of Kerala
Homestays,
helped to
overcome
this easily.
A great advantage
in this scenario
was the high
levels of
education
among Keralites.
Kerala is
a state with
100% literacy
rates and
it not uncommon
that even
people who
are met on
the streets
understand
and communicate
in English.
Now, the
number and
quality of
homestays
in various
tourist locations
of Kerala
have increased
to such a
level that
they match
hotels and
resorts.
