Release Body: Kerala Tourism’s official website, www.keralatourism.org
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.

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.”

internet to communicate with users. We are constantly upgrading our website
to make it more user friendly and interactive”
