New option for hotels and tourist places to promote themselves in the World Wide Web

June 30, 2008 - PRLog -- There has always been a hard battle of hotels and travel destinations for tourists. Nowadays this battle has been displaced into the internet. Many people use the WWW to learn something about the hotel and destination and get some fresh impressions before they travel anywhere. But future tourists have also a tough decision because the WWW has so much to offer, so many websites, especially for people who want to travel and have a good time. But how is a hotel or tourist destination supposed to arouse anyone’s attention in the huge WWW?

The website http://www.top1000destinations.com provides a new chance to get that attention. Here visitors can find good hotels and attractive destinations (cities, objects of interest, nature parks, beautiful landscapes etc.)  in an unique way. Hotels and travel destinations are indicated by two different symbols on the world map, a star and a triangle. A star stands for a hotel and a triangle for an exiting or picturesque tourist place or a place in a nice natural landscape.
Hotels and tourist destinations can rent a star or a triangle for one or several years. The star or the triangle is then placed on the appropriate place on the world map and represents then virtually the hotel or the tourist place. If a visitor of the website moves his mouse over the star or the triangle a tooltip (small window, no new website) appears which contains a small information text that describes the hotel or destination briefly and additionally - that is here the main thing – shows a GIF-animation or a flash slideshow which shows the hotel or the tourist place from its most beautiful side.
And the internet surfer casually finds hotel and tourist places that he or she would have perhaps never noticed in the huge WWW with all its countless websites.

Quality hotels and attractive travel destinations only

This is however not yet everything because not every hotel can rent a star here. The hotel must be evaluated at least three stars or higher and it must also be able to show good reviews of former guests. These reviews can be checked on the well-known websites for hotel evaluations.
The tourist destinations too which want to apply for a triangle must be able to show a certain attractiveness, regarded from the cultural or/and scenic point of view.

How does it work?

Each hotel and each tourist destination can rent a star or triangle for at least one year and €10. Afterwards the hotel or tourist place can extend the contract for a further year or years, assumed the hotel didn’t suffer any serious quality loss during the rental contract and thus lost the prerequisites.
Hotels and tourist places that receive a promise, that means they fulfil the requirements, can send a GIF animation or flash slideshow of their own together with an information text via e-mail which then appear both in the tooltip. The website is internationally held, that means everything is written in English. This however should not represent a problem for the experienced internet surfer who is not a native speaker but has a basic knowledge of the English language, particularly since the website is held very simply, everything is rather visual and visitors understand offhand what it is all about.
