has won the Net4 PC World Web Award 2008 instituted by
the technology magazine PC World, for the best tourism website
in India. In its second year, the PC World Web Awards
chose www.keralatourism.org
from among 57 websites across 31 popular categories.
www.keralatourism.org was launched in 1998 and
currently receives around 1,50,000 visitors and 6,00,000 page
views per month. The site offers thousands of pages on Kerala,
indexed in all major search engines. Designed and maintained by
Invis Multimedia, the website was judged as the
most visually appealing and won accolades from the judges for
being a clean and well-structured site. The website’s use
of technology and good search option were also said to be way
ahead of others.
On the criteria of evaluation, PC World said,
“Our experts rated sites on two levels – design
and usability. Design included colours, typography, visual appeal
and consistency. Usability took into account interactivity and
customisation in India.”

recognition of how we use the internet to communicate with users.
We are constantly upgrading our website to make it more user friendly
