August 08, 2025

The ambitious K-Home initiative of Kerala Tourism is gaining steam with the tourism department submitting a comprehensive set of guidelines and standard operating procedures to facilitate the transformation of unoccupied homes into budget-friendly tourist accommodations.

- SHAINU MOHAN @T'Puram

Announced in the recent budget, K-Home is going to be a new tourism product that aims to tap into the state's large inventory of vacant houses, particularly those owned by NRIs and convert them into viable short-stay lodging facilities for travellers.

As per a rough estimate prepared by the state government, there are around 10-15 lakh unoccupied or vacant houses. Tourism Minister P A Mohammad Riyas said that K-Home will be rolled out soon.
