For decades, the pristine charm of Idukki and Wayanad—two of the State’s most sought after hill destinations—has been irresistible to travellers. However, the landslides in Wayanad, which claimed around 300 lives, severely affected the tourism prospects of this popular spot. Tourist arrivals in Wayanad fell to 12.88 lakh in 2024, down from a peak of 17.5 lakh in 2023.

A sustained tourism campaign launched by Kerala Tourism helped Wayanad record a moderate recovery, attracting 14.73 lakh domestic tourists in 2025. Nevertheless, this figure remains well below the 2023 level, …
