John Muthoot, managing director of Muthoot Hotels, said: "This season we are inviting corporate houses to hold their annual conferences. Four groups have come and gone. This month we expect four more groups and each will have around 40 executives.
"After their routine meetings, they (conference delegates) head for our spa aroma therapy. This has come as a bonus and we have already started receiving inquiries for next year's monsoon season," said Muthoot.
Most resorts in Kerala offer attractive ayurveda packages to the tourists. These packages include body massages with different herbal oils and powders.
While the tariff varies from resort to resort, it starts from 50 euros a day, including for food, accommodation and treatment protocols.
The most preferred treatment protocol is the rejuvenation package, which consists of different kinds of massages. Packages for slimming, stress management and beauty care are also in high demand. The duration of these packages ranges from one week to three weeks.
Most resorts have a special ayurveda kitchen with customized menu. To add colour to the ayurveda season, resorts also conduct cooking classes.
