The story of Kerala HATS

Promoting Authentic Homestays & Responsible Tourism in God’s Own Country

Established in 2008, Kerala HATS (Kerala State Homestay and Tourism Society) is a registered non-governmental organization operating under the Travancore-Cochin Literary, Scientific and Charitable Societies Registration Act, 1955.

Dedicated to promoting authentic homestay experiences and sustainable tourism across Kerala, Kerala HATS brings together homestay owners, tourism professionals, and local communities to showcase the true essence of God’s Own Country.

We believe that the finest way to experience Kerala is not simply to visit, but to live its traditions, savour its authentic cuisine, embrace its rich cultural heritage, and enjoy the warmth of genuine Kerala hospitality.

Through our commitment to responsible tourism, quality accommodation, and community empowerment, Kerala HATS strives to create meaningful connections between travellers and local hosts, making every stay a memorable journey into the heart of Kerala.
