Petra 2.0

Less posts these days but we are still here...

We continue our work, integrating travel feeds and that's how we came to discover the Petra blog created by the Jordan national tourist office.

This is a good example of how the tourism bureau can develop simply a 2.0 application.

The RSS feed is available here

See you soon with some new developments ....

WEB 2.0 and institutional e-tourism

The sum up and the powerpoint samples of the show "Weblogs, RSS Feeds and Web 2.0", organized by Ardesi on November 27th in Toulouse, are already online through the weblog "Blog et Rencontres".

We were glad to participate to this event; it was the opportunity for us to relaunch our main message: "Travel Professionals, syndicate your site ! ".

RSS = Higher target, higher reactivity, higher loyalty, lower costs

The  Journal du Net published a spécial file today on " 10 good ideas of the e-tourisme websites"  and they took the case of Expédia which have already adopted the RSS to illustrate  their article.

They also mention that the  RSS is:

  • The proper tool to be kept updated on the continuous change of rates

  • Very easy and inexpensive to implement

  • a tool that encline the subscribee to pull the information to him. The consequence of this act is a higher information consumption.

Hereunder the feeds of some professional of the industry that we recently added to the boardinGate database and which illustrate perfectly the use of the RSS in the travel industry :

Conclusion : Adopting the RSS is an excellent idea !
