As the domain of e-Governance is a public domain, the usability testing of these tourism icons requires a comprehensive user survey, which truly represents a public, who is likely to use such e-governance websites.

With the help of user survey, these tourism icons are categorized as ‘Well-Accepted', ‘Well-Understood' and ‘Difficult to Understand' icons.
