THE KERALA PARAGLIDING GRAND PRIX VAGAMON

The 68 paragliders including nearly 20 foreigners bid farewell to Wagamon on Sunday hoping for another international paragliding championship in 2010 even as Wagamon witnessed the heaviest turnout of visitors never seen before in this hilly tourism spot. By Monday all the foreign paragliders would have left the country, said the organisers of the championship.

ASSTA

( Adventure Sports and Sustainable Tourism Academy )
was established in Cochin, to answer the need of providing skillful manpower and integrative interdisciplinary research which could support the growth of adventure sports as a supplementary tourism product and to propagate awareness of ‘sustainable’ tourism development. Through cooperation of several government and private sectors, the Academy would contribute to tourism development in both national and local scale.

ASSTA has embarked on various training programs in Paragliding by involving local people. Organized two international Paragliding events in Vagamon in 2006 and 2007.
