Such endorsements will motivate us to strive harder to maintain our consumer friendly approach and make travel simple,” says Sandeep Murthy, chief executive officer, Cleartrip.com, in a statement.

Sanjay Tiwari, director and chief executive officer, JuxtConsult, says, “In human interaction, we find a human friendly only when he ‘looks’ friendly to us and ‘behaves’ friendly with us. Accordingly, this study measures and reports the ‘user friendliness’ of a website taking into account both its look factors and its usability factors.”
