Monsoon is sometimes an off-season in tourist
parlance. Monsoon attracts Arab visitors from Gulf countries and also
North Indians to Kerala during June to August. Hotels too reduce tariff by
about 50 per cent and in some cases more.

According to director of Kerala Home stays and
Tourism Society, there is revived interest for Kerala’s monsoon season
even in European countries. “Though home stays don’t market monsoon as such,
we regularly get foreign tourists who are interested in rain. Some
of them love to soak up in rain, while others prefer to watch it,”
he said. Considering the interest of tourists, District Tourism
Promotion Council (DTPC) was also planning to introduce a package by next
week.
