The Kochi-Muziris Biennale has attracted approximately 1.6 lakh visitors in its first 20 days, from December 12 to 31, 2025. Organizers attribute this high turnout to strong tourist engagement and a growing local audience, with many returning multiple times. The festival's expanded geographical spread across 29 venues, including many free-to-access sites and the addition of performative art, has contributed to the increased footfall. AI tools are being used for visitor management and analytics to refine future planning and outreach.
