Kerala tourism goes hitech
Kerala Tourism, ahead of the new season
starting in two months, will launch a fresh set of mobile-based services and
IT-based projects to make the passage to God's Own Country a hassle-free and
more pleasant experience.
The new products including a mobile
website, WAP guide, applications and Bluetooth kiosks will be unveiled here
by Tourism Minister.
"The world is making a transition from web-based tools to smart phone-based tools. Kerala Tourism is hence making another ground-breaking move with this new array of mobile products to seize the growing opportunity and stay put a notch above our competitors," said Tourism Minister.
For tourists travelling to Kerala, these products will prove to be their e-guardians by giving with a comprehensive supportive and protective cover rather than being just e-guides," added him.

The Kerala Tourism website started with just 50 visitors a day in 1998 and
today it gets 7000-8000 visits per day and more than 2.5 million visits a year.
In addition, Kerala tourism is active in social media like You Tube with 3 million video views a year, 1.76 lakh fans on Facebook and 9,500 followers in Twitter.

"The visitors who are connected with their smart phones and mobile apps will be able to explore the destinations in the state without external support, but by using these unique products which will provide a wide range of features like tour planning, updates, guidance, destination details," said Kerala Tourism secretary.
