Besides hotels and resorts, properties like ayurvedic centres, homestays and houseboats are also available online.

Nearly nine hundred properties in Kerala have enrolled to avail of the online facility, out of which 92 of them have already started offering reservations through this platform. With the facility in place, rooms can be booked online any time by visiting www.keralatourism.org. Now one hundred thousand room nights are available for reservation.
