Bible Tower attracts tourists in large numbers

The tallest Bible tower of Asia, attached to the Shrine Basilica of Our Lady of Dolours here, has become one of the major pilgrim tourist attractions in the state, visited by people from around the world including Europe.

According to Fr George Manadan, Rector and Vicar of the Basilica, the church founded in 1925 was one of the biggest Christian shrines in Asia covering a plinth area of 25,000 sq ft.
The Bible tower commands a height of 260 ft and about 500 to 600 pilgrims visit the Basilica and the tower daily, Fr Manadan told a press meet on Thursday.

The four-day long annual festival of the Basilica would begin on Friday with a high mass led by Major Archbishop Baselios Mar Cleemis of the Syro Malankara Catholic Church.

Indian tourism industry is growing at a greater pace. Every year the number of tourists to india are increasing. But foreigners who are visiting india or destinatination in india are only during the months from october to march. It is about 5 to 6 months. This period is the tourism season time and the months other than these months in the tourism calender are off season months. During off season there wont be much foreign visitors to india we could find only local and regional tourists in the destinations.

It is interesting to know that at the time of off season the rates in the hotels and resorts will be much less and the travel agents will be charging only less for their services offered. If you are thinking in a cost effective manner it is better to visit destinations in india during offseasons.

Indian tour planner a travel agent has launched off season packages for kerala. The packages ranges from 4 days to 10 days.
