In the next step these Non Resident Keralites should provide their contact to the Kerala Tourism Department. The details will be then given to tour operators. If that suggested tourist visits Kerala the person who suggests will be credited with some points. This is an automated process. These points can be converted to Free air tickets, holiday packages, Ayurvedic retreat packages etc. The whole process is automated and will be via Online. This can be a very good opportunity for the nonresident Keralites to earn extra income. This scheme will be a great leap in Kerala Tourism’s history as Keralites are spread across the whole world.
