TourismBrochures.net
The rationale for a tourism portal lies in the need to build a large online
library to promote the use of digital brochures by potential tourists interested
to get the maximum of information about their destinations. In order to prepare
their journeys, these potential tourists currently have to log on to several
sites and retrieve information from diverse sources. Each country indeed has a
website for the promotion of its own national tourist destinations, with
additional regional and local sites in many cases. These sites (national,
regional, local) have often been designed independently one from the other both
from a technical and content point of view. Therefore, the services and content
they provide to assist potential visitors vary widely, resulting in a
sub-optimal exploitation of tourism potential.
Tourists planning a journey to a destination, would benefit from a better
service if all the tourist guides and all the brochures of the local tourist
companies are available free in 3Dpage digital format and geographically
catalogued. This is what TourismBrochures.net portal aims to deliver: an online
library of tourist publications where potential tourists will be able to
prepare their journeys in any country by simply logging and search by the name
of the destination.
Facilitating access to better, more accurate and complete tourism information
and services the TourismBrochures.net
tourism portal will directly benefit potential tourists. But it will also help
to reduce substantially the use of printed brochures in an industry that uses
over 80 millions of trees each year to produce promotional printed materials.
