The project named ' Spice Tourism Circuit' provides tourists a great opportunity to visit the numerous spice plantations in Kerala. The implementation of this project was a joint initiative of the Union Ministry of Tourism and the United Nations Development Programme. Not only this, according to the recent plans spice tours will also be organized for the tourists. A spice museum, spice food court and workshop for artists are likely. The spices grown here are cinnamon, cardamom, clove, black pepper, ginger, turmeric, vanilla and nutmeg.
