Meanwhile, tourism centres located in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu — and border Wayanad — are said to be witnessing good tourist footfalls.

Eco-tourism centres in Wayanad were closed down in February following the death of a forest watcher at the Kuruva Islands centre by a wild tusker. That led to loss of tourists and financial strain for the staff. There are plans to reopen the centres in May but a pending court case may delay the reopening.
