Welcome to Philipkutty’s Farm
Stay in independent, homely, waterfront villas run by a family, on a beautiful farm island, in the backwaters of Kerala.
Staying at Philipkutty’s Farm is an excellent opportunity to enjoy the real Keralan experience in a fascinating location, with a caring family to look after you. It is a special place, as it provides something different, especially for those who prefer small, friendly places, and it is the perfect hideaway for the bespoke traveller.
You are welcomed, looked after, and cared for by the family (myself, Anu, my mother-in-law Aniamma, my son Philip and my daughter, Anya). The homestay concept, and the vision behind our approach to welcoming and hosting our guests, is entirely due to the inspirational thinking of my late husband, Vinod. I now strive to keep that vision alive, and adapt to the ever-changing world we all live in, with the constant support of my staff and family.
Your privacy is assured, as the waterfront villas are entirely separate from the family residence, and independent from each other. The first villa, designed by Karl Damscen, a Swiss architect, is a traditionally styled, antique-filled, open plan bungalow, with sufficient space for two people and an extra bed if needed. The other villas, designed by Thomas Dominic, are in the same decorative style, but with a separate bedroom, living room and ‘sit-out’ facing the peaceful, palm-fringed waterfront.
All this is set on a beautiful farm island, which was reclaimed from the backwaters of Lake Vembanad in the early 1950’s by my late husband’s grandfather. The working farm, which practices sustainable/organic methods of farming, is two metres below the lake level and produces coconut, banana, fruit and vegetables. Accessible by road up to the bank opposite the farm and villas, it is our ‘vallam’ (country boat) that will finally take you and your luggage across the wide backwater to our island.
A special, magical place to live, work and stay at.

RESTRUCTURING FARM TOURISM POLICY FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT IN KERALA
2021, Mahatma Gandhi University
Post Covid19 situation has a negative impact on tourism resources and tourism markets world over. The purpose of this research paper is to restructure farm tourism policy for community development in Kerala and in various states of India and outside that use farm tourism as an addition source of income. The content of farm tourism policies of these States and Countries is used mainly as inputs for the study. The Covid 19 situation being so unpredictable, it appears that it is not possible to resume mass tourism and it will continue to be so in the near future. Still, farm tourism stands to grow exponentially in this fluid situation as it being the best form of tourism that can be implemented complying with the Covid19 protocol in Kerala. Kerala might become the ideal farm tourism destination in the days to come if tourism and agriculture departments join hands in restructuring Farm Tourism Policy for Community Development. The current Post Covid19 period, it seems, not an encumbrance but rather an opportunity for the farm tourism industry as far as Kerala is concerned.

India as a tourist destination is the magnum of diversity. It is said that real India resides in villages with cultural diversity and traditional authenticity. The sudden outbreak of COVID-19 has brought this sun rising industry to its knees by shutting down all the tourism vertical with loss of almost 50 million jobs globally. The United Nations World Tourism Organization has declared this year theme as "Tourism and rural development" on World Tourism Day 2020 that highlighted that rural tourism has the potential to recover from the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic. The main purpose of the paper is to research the potential tourists' attitude towards rural tourism experience, attractiveness, facilities, problems, etc. in India. Further, the paper analyzes the social-economic and environmental impact of rural tourism development during the pandemic situation in the country. The primary data has been collected from 218 respondents during October 2020 through an online (Google form) questionnaire (multiple response data) by convenience sampling technique of data collection. For data analysis, descriptive statistics and cross-tabulation is used in the study. The research findings would help the stakeholders of the tourism industry to further improvise their strategies and policies according to the requirements and desires of potential tourists of rural India in the post-pandemic scenario.

Centre for Public Policy Research
Kerala tourism has won several national and international recognitions, mainly due to the region’s picturesque beauty and state’s responsible tourism projects. Based on the tourism policy documents of the central and state governments, the Kerala tourism model is acclaimed as one of the most liberalised tourism models with the private sector leading tourism development and the state acting as a facilitator rather than a regulator. Kerala government’s tourism expenditure is one among the highest in the country. Tourism constitutes 10 per cent of Kerala’s GDP, as per official statistics, and reportedly contributes around 23.5 per cent to the total employment in the state. This study, however, shows that most of the claims made by the government about Kerala tourism are inflated. Though found to be highly unsuccessful and ineffective, the government has spent a significant amount of money on government-run tourism services. The government plays the role of the lead provider of accommodation facilities and is in complete charge of tourism promotion and marketing. At the same time, the potential of innovative products like home stays and houseboats is not tapped for lack of incentives to the entrepreneurs. This study shows that though the government policies were investor friendly in paper, they were actually harming the investors rather than promoting them. Kerala’s international tourism sustains on visitors from a few countries, while domestic tourism is dependent on tourists from within the state, despite the huge spending on tourism promotion by the government. The claims of the economic advantages of tourism are based on unreliable statistics, along with an all-inclusive definition of tourists, which do not come under the realm of the state’s tourism policy. The study shows the need for the government to act as a facilitator by providing the basic infrastructure conducive for tourism and allow the private sector to play the lead role in tourism promotion and development. Tourism promotion and marketing should be the responsibility of the private sector, which will help in implementing innovative marketing methods for attracting international tourists from more countries and domestic tourists from other states. This will help in exploiting the natural potential of Kerala tourism rather than placing artificial constraints on tourism development in the state through government interventions. The study demands a reliable procedure for collating the tourist database in the state that distinguishes tourists based on the type of visa and purpose of visit. The economic impacts of tourism should be analysed using this database for getting a reliable picture in this regard.

Organic food farming and rural tourism has been emerged as an impressive niche concept in recent days. It contributes a real happiness in the life of humans and other species. Some of the corporate houses have shown a deep interest in organizing MICE (Meeting, Incentive, Conference/Convention and Exposition/Exhibition/Events) into rural areas. Common people are almost frustrated with hybrid food products and polluted environment in surrounding and Corona(covid19) like pandemic has already engulfed thousands of people and infected millions. Therefore, they are big market for organic food and rural tourism. These people can be motivated to enjoy weekends in nearby rural destination. Few generations ago, in the 1930's, approximately 45% of Americans lived on farms. This demographic gradually but steadily declined as people migrated to urban centers, and over time, to suburbs. Today, people who claim farming as their principal occupation has come down to minimal and the same period of time the US population has more than doubled, and demand for agricultural products has increased accordingly. The country like Ethiopia and India have already developed organic farms and most of the farmers are involved in organic type of farming. Sikkim a state of India has done tremendous in organic food farming. The present paper focuses on changing dimension of tourism and its sustainable approach. It emphasized on bringing people and corporate both to nature to avail its originalities. It also focuses on mutual benefits of farming(agricultural) and non-farming activities(tourism). It also focus on Corona (covid19) pandemic which is a result of concentrated growth of town and shifting patterns of people. New venture need to be created on the basis of suggested framework and model. Land using and settlement pattern should be mapped to develop rural tourism activities.

There are a myriad of definitions for Sustainable Tourism, including eco-tourism green travel environmentally and culturally responsible tourism, fair trade and ethical travel.Tourism is one of the world's largest industries. For developing countries it is also one of the biggest income generators. But the huge infrastructural and resource demands of tourism can have severe impacts upon local communities and the environment if it is not properly managed.Rural Tourism is growing in terms of number of visitors and the Government of India focuses on it as an engine of growth. We believe that any rural tourism development plan needs to focus on sustainable development and take into account the priorities and needs of local people. This paper emphasizes the need for sustainable forms of tourism by outlining the possible socioeconomic , cultural and environmental impacts of current forms of Rural Tourism. The paper first explores the meaning of terms such as Rural, Rurality and Rural Tourism. It focuses on the genesis and growth of Rural Tourism, Rural Tourism in India, impacts of Rural Tourism and the need for sustainable Rural Tourism.The Tourism Department, Government of Assam in North East India, recognizing the value of tourism as an economic development tool, wanted support in developing adventure tourism responsibly and sustainably. With tourism to India growing at 13.5% per year, state policymakers saw the opportunity to draw more visitors to Assam, but were concerned about preserving important cultural and natural resources.It is clear that rural areas are an integral part of the modern tourism experience. It is a fact that in reality many forms of rural tourism are unable to conform to the guidelines of sustainable development. However with timely, accurate research and dissemination of information, proper planning, implementation and monitoring of policies as well as working towards strengthening of institutions will contribute towards the processes of achieving the principles and values of sustainable tourism in rural areas.

Agri-tourism is the latest concept in the Indian tourism industry, which normally occurs on farms. Agri-tourism is a form of agricultural multi-functionality it gives you the opportunity to experience the real alluring and authentic contact with the village life, taste the local veritable food and get familiar with the many farming tasks during the visit.

It gives you the chance to relax and reinvigorate in the pure natural environment, surrounded by splendid setting.

Many Indian farmers especially from Pune and Maharashtra currently involved in or are considering the use of agri-tourism as a mode of diversifying their farm operations. How they will achieve this is the challenge. The overall potential for agri-tourism can only be achieved if strategies to address and overcome their challenges are developed and implemented. This paper is an attempt to identifying the potential of agri-tourism in India by highlights major challenges in this issue with some useful recommendations.

India is an Agricultural Country and the majority of people are living in villages and dependent mostly on agricultural income. Agriculture sometimes fails due to natural calamities and no sufficient rains etc. Our Father of Nation Mahatma Gandhi said, "The Soul of India lies in villages!" Tourism has been a dynamic industry growing continuously and providing employment opportunities for many. Rural tourism has become a part of Alternative tourism now. Eventhough various types of tourism are being promoted in India, still rural tourism has not been explored fully, especially in Tamilnadu with so many villages, agriculture with ancient cultural values, festivals and traditions provide unique tourism products for the offer to the tourists. This study aims to bring out the potential tourism products of our villages in Tamilnadu so that tour operators and tourism departments can promote rural tourism to foreign and domestic tourists from the Northern part. The study brings out the important villages in Tamilnadu with Unique tourism offerings that need to be properly promoted by tourism stakeholders and DMO`s. Rural tourism can provide additional income for the villagers, proving employment for the youth by training them and improve the overall economy of the villages. The study makes some suggestions to the tourism department for the promotion of rural tourism in Tamilnadu. Sometimes many villagers are suffering without any income and they can do many things related to tourism promotion and offerings like rural handicrafts, toys, etc. The study is based on secondary data and a structured interview with identified people in villages and also tour operators.

Kerala Farm Tourism
Fresh vegetables, fresh air and serene ambience, walking through a peaceful farm certainly help people to escape from their busy schedules and make their mind clear. Each one of you wishes to be in such a farm as soon possible for a unique travel experience. Farm tourism is relatively a new concept but Kerala is gaining popularity in this field. Being a state that gives importance to agriculture, Kerala has tremendous potential to draw travelers without the need of much additional investment. Contact Kochi Taxi or visit our website www.KSU.in to get more details about Kerala Farm Tourism and the popular destinations that promote this concept.
A Part Of Rural Kerala Tourism
Unlike other tourism methods, farm tourism does not create any bad effect on our environment or natural resources. This growing part of tourism can be considered as a part of rural tourism like ecotourism or adventure tourism. Any agricultural activity that draws tourists can be considered farm tourism.
High Potential In Kerala For Farm Tourism
With approximately 30.22 lakhs hectares of gross cropped area, Kerala has high potential to grow in the field of farm tourism. Approximately 1/3 rd of this area contains different plantations like rubber, tea, coffee, ginger, cardamom and other spices. Another 1/3 rd of such area is for coconut plantations. In Kerala, paddy is cultivating in nearly 350,000 lakhs hectares of land. So, the state has great possibility to convert these cropped areas as tourist attractions. Besides, it has minimum involvement to transfer the benefits of tourism to farmers. The Tourism Department of Kerala has intended to bring different schemes to prepare farms or plantations to entice tourists. They are trying to develop a positive image of agriculture and farms for promoting farm tourism in Kerala.
The government has planned several projects for the preparation of Plantations or farms to receive tourists in Kerala. They try to present a positive image of agriculture and farm as a whole and attempt to revitalize the agriculture sector through tourism. Farm tourism is certainly a great way to increase the traffic to this lovely state. Getting close to nature is a wonderful way to stay away from many health problems and lifestyle diseases. Farm tourism helps people to get close to nature and experience a healthy lifestyle.
Things Involved In Kerala Farm Tourism
Those who visit the farms of the state will get the chance to spend some valuable moments in a serene ambience. A healthy walk through the rich green farms certainly rejuvenates each visitor. Besides, a stay in a farm is also a great way to satisfy your taste buds. In addition to mouth-watering recipes, each tourist can follow a healthy and balanced diet at these farm houses. The Government of Kerala arranges things to promote farm tourism and the things that arranged for the promotion involve:
- Good accommodation facilities
- Farm visits
- Farms shops
- Different farm activities
- Guided walks in farms
Benefits Of Farm Tourism
There is no better way to experience the greenery of Kerala than farm tourism. It is an excellent way to explore the nature. Aside promoting tourism, this scheme helps locals and farmers to get financial stability. Tourists can be a part of the everyday agricultural activities through farm tourism. The additional income that they gained through this way can utilize for the farming and agricultural developments. Some of the key benefits of agricultural tourism are:
- An opportunity to get close to nature
- Involves group work
- Opportunity to meet new people
- Refresh and rejuvenate the mind and body
Great shopping opportunities for natural products are also a part of farm tourism. Buy some organic seeds from such farms in order to explore the farmer in you. Kerala is famous for its spices like pepper, clove, cardamom, ginger, turmeric and nutmeg and travelers can buy fresh spices from these organic farms. Fresh tea and coffee are also worth buying during your Kerala trip.
