“This year, the matches will be played on turf for the first time in STR history,” added Mr Vinesh Vidya, President of TPC. Reigning champions Gokulam Hotels will defend their title, heightening anticipation over who will claim the coveted trophy this year.
“SHOOT THE RAIN” has consistently been the premier event for tourism stakeholders in Kerala to come together, enjoy, and engage with one another. This year, the new venue at St. Joseph’s Sports Dome in Kalamassery promises to offer an even better experience. The importance of such gatherings cannot be overstated. In our often stressful business lives, creating and seizing opportunities for networking and relaxation is essential. It’s a time to step away from the daily grind, foster relationships, and share insights in a more relaxed and enjoyable setting.
