TOURISM MAN OF THE YEAR awards is meant for recognizing achievements in the field of tourism through exceptional capacities. We have ensured that people with inspiring personalities, through their achievements are only chosen for this award.

Our last year’s recipient was Mr. Jose Domenic, the Chairman of CGH Earth Group for his efforts in establishing the importance of nature and tourism.
Tourism Man of the Year Award for 2011 is Mr. Kochouseph Chittilappilly, the managing director of Veega Land. More than being a visionary in business, his commitment on ensuring quality, had set a trend in business models. His venture WONDERLA (VEEGA LAND) still enjoys the best theme park in our country, even after many years of its existence.
But what inspired us more is the Human heart in him, which no other personality of his stature has ever dared to do. He proved to this world that life is more than what money can buy. His great gesture in donating his kidney to a fellow human being must be remembered by the mankind for generations to come. We sincerely feel that our humble efforts in understanding and recognizing great personalities like
Mr. Kochouseph Chittilappilly will be truly beneficial for our society.
