Tourist Resorts (Kerala) Ltd or (TRKL) is a Government of Kerala undertaking under Kerala Tourism Department, established in August 1989 to promote tourism investment and to develop Tourism infrastructure in the Indian state of Kerala. TRKL was conceived to identify tourism infrastructure needs of the state and bridge any identified gaps. Kerala is today growing at an amazing pace in tourism, adhering to the principles of indigenousness, environmental sustainability and community participation. Kerala's beaches, hill stations, backwaters, wildlife sanctuaries, historical monuments, etc. attract foreign as well as domestic tourists.
The growth in Tourism Industry has also created an infrastructure gap in various tourism amenities, resulting in a disparity in supply and demand. TRKL is working towards creating various investment, development and partnership models to address this issue and to catalyse growth. To broaden its activities TRKL is reconstituted as Kerala Tourism Infrastructure and Investment Company Ltd by the Government of Kerala.
TRKL was separated from KTDC in 1989, as an independent company. A 1005 government owned enterprise, the company is managed by Managing Director, who reports to Chairman. The Government Secretary to Tourism Department, is the ex-offico Chairman of TRKL. The current Chairman is Dr.Venu IAS and Managing Director is T.K Manzoor. There are 3 nominated directors in the Board of Directors. The Government Secretary of Finance, Director of Kerala Tourism and Managing Director of KTDC are other members in the board.
The range of activities conducted by TRKL can be broadly divided into three.
The primary function of the company is to develop public-private partnership (PPP model) projects for tourism infrastructure development. Taj Kerala Hotels and Resorts is a joint venture between TRKL and Taj Hotels Resorts and Palaces under the PPP model. TRKL announced its latest PPP model project, an urban entertainment centre at Veli, Thiruvananthapuram. This particular project will contribute significantly to the tourism development of the capital city and Kerala as a whole.
