Article Summary

Discover the Kerala Government's massive ₹93.17 crore initiative to build an International Cruise Terminal at Punnamada Finishing Point and transform Alleppey into a Global Water Wonderland.

The Kerala Government has officially launched the "Alappuzha - A Global Water Wonderland" project, a ₹93.17 crore initiative destined to elevate Alleppey into a world-class luxury destination by 2026.

As part of the Swadesh Darshan 2.0 scheme, this massive redevelopment will breathe new life into the historic canals, revitalize the Alappuzha beach, and introduce a state-of-the-art International Cruise Terminal precisely where Alleppey Green Tourism's premium fleet operates—the Punnamada Finishing Point.
