Kerala has won two awards of Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) for the category in cultural tourism and preparation of brochures.

In the cultural segment, the heritage village at Aranmula in Pathanamthitta district was chosen for the award. The brochures that won the award were those of the state’s eco-tourism spots like Munnar, Wayanad, Thekkadi and Kumarakom.

The honour would encourage Kerala Tourism to come out with more new products and concepts, state Tourism Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan said in a release here yesterday.
