The District Tourism Promotion Council, Kozhikode has applied for a Geographical Indication (GI) tag for the famous Beypore Uru (boat).

The Beypore Urus are purely made of premium wood, without using any modern techniques.
The Khalasis are another prominent class associated with Uru-making after the Odayis. They are also referred to as Mappila Khalasis as majority of them are Mappila Muslims.
