History

Vivanta by Taj - Kumarakom has a 140-year-old story to tell. The natural beauty of the area inspired English Missionary Mr Henry Baker to build a charming colonial bungalow in the late 19th century. Often called the little jewel of Kumarakom, it still maintains the beauty of its rustic surroundings on the banks of Vembanad Lake.

The Tourism Ministry presents National Tourism Awards to various segments of the travel and tourism industry every year. These awards are presented to State Governments, classified hotels, heritage hotels, approved travel agents, tour operators and tourist transport operators, individuals and other private organisations in recognition of their performances in their respective fields, and also to encourage healthy competition with an aim to promote tourism.
