Jet, set, go: Direct flight for Chinese tourists?

Kochi: The Yunnan Provincial administration of China will approach the China Eastern Airlines to explore the possibility of operating direct flights to Kerala.
The move was aimed at tapping the tourism potential of both Kerala and Yunnan, said Jin Cheng, Deputy Director General, International Regional Cooperation Office of Yunnan Province. Ultimately, it is the airline that will decide on the operation of flights. Discussions will soon be held with them, he said.
Eleven-member delegation, including Mr. Jin, attended the Emerging Kerala Summit on Tuesday. The team had also visited some tourist destinations here, including Fort Kochi.
The provincial administration in China is willing to showcase Kerala and its tourist destinations there. The Kerala authorities too could reciprocate it here so as to benefit both destinations.
