Abstract

“Man’s curiosity for things and enquiry for food and shelter from one place to another gave birth to travel and travel led to tourism.”[i] From time immemorial man’s thirst for journeying is unquenchable, which has resulted in the spread of Human civilisation to all parts of the globe. Travels in the more advanced stages of our civilisation was done with an intent on Exploration, Diplomacy, Commerce, Knowledge etc. With Trade and Commerce being the main motivation behind travel rather than for pleasure in the early ages, the travellers were mostly consisting of Merchants, Pilgrims or Scholars. Conscious travels were undertaken to explore and see the world as it had progressed. And a new phenomenon of travelling in pursuit of leisure came to being and in course of time the concept of tourism got new meaning and acquired importance, as travelling exclusively for pleasure constitutes the main theme of tourism in these days. 106-113 Reimagining the Growth and Development of Tourism in Travancore with Special Emphasis on Kanya kumari SAFEED R Abstract One of the wealthiest and most developed state in the British India was Travancore, which was situated on the south of the Indian Subcontinent. The princely state was blessed with nature and the geographical features are entirely distinct from other places in India. The modern industry like tourism got spatial attention from the government from the beginning of the twentieth century and it accepted several plans for attracting visitors to its tourist spots. A few tourist destinations, which were in pathetic condition were elevated to high standard and world class facilities were arranged to meet the demands of the travelers. Kanyakumari, the land of rising sun was situated on the south of Travancore got special consideration and government made necessary arrangements for the growth and development of Kanyakumari as a tourist destination. 114-

浅析早期旅行者对喀拉拉邦历史的贡献

“人类对事物的好奇心，对食物和住所的探索，从一个地方到另一个地方催生了旅行，而旅行又催生了旅游业。”“自古以来，人类对旅行的渴望是无法抑制的，这导致了人类文明在全球各地的传播。”在我们文明的更高级阶段，旅行的目的是探索、外交、商业、知识等。在早期，贸易和商业是旅行的主要动机，而不是为了娱乐，旅行者主要由商人、朝圣者或学者组成。有意识的旅行是为了探索和观察世界的发展。一种追求休闲旅行的新现象应运而生，随着时间的推移，旅游的概念获得了新的含义和重要性，因为专门为娱乐而旅行构成了当今旅游的主题。特拉凡科(Travancore)是英属印度最富有、最发达的州之一，位于印度次大陆的南部。这个王公邦拥有得天独厚的自然环境，地理特征与印度其他地方完全不同。从20世纪初开始，像旅游业这样的现代产业得到了政府的空间关注，并接受了几个吸引游客到其旅游景点的计划。一些原本状况不佳的旅游目的地被提升到高标准，并安排了世界一流的设施，以满足游客的需求。Kanyakumari，这片日出之地位于特拉凡科南部，得到了特别的考虑，政府为Kanyakumari作为旅游目的地的成长和发展做出了必要的安排。114 -
