I just went the need to write a post after seeing this beautiful airy house made with wood. The whole concept such a house embrace open space, nature, natural light, etc.
After seeing this picture, I was thinking of this - wouldn't it be possible for our local carpenters, architects, designers, etc to come together to make similar model houses which can be lifted and placed in picturesque spots of kerala.
What about such a house that could be close to a beach, where visitors can enjoy the full beauty of the location, yet give them modern amenities.
Well, making this does involve costs but it could be kept low with low-cost materials, wood, etc.
Now, imagine such a house by these locations:
- near St Andrews beach or Kapil beach in Trivandrum.
- At Bon Accord ( listed on airbnb site). The income from rentals could be used by tea estate workers in that location
- by Neyyar dam site
- at a forest location inside Brimore area near Palode ( maintained by forest dept)
- Near Kallar area, Ponmudi
- At Munnar
- By Ashtamudi kayal
and many such spots.
What if each Panchayat office sponsors one such house to people with land and who has the education and who has undertaken training in hosting travelers!
- Imagine if Kerala Govt launches a plan to construct and give 10,000 or 1 lakh such houses for tourists to stay at many spots in Kerala! Imagine, the income it can generate, the families it can benefit!
Let's dream big for a clean and green Kerala. Let's tap the natural beauty of our state - bringing sustainable tourism for the benefit of people!
