Travel Ape Goes “Italian” with Coverage and Content for the areas of Milan and Venice.

Feb. 9, 2009 - PRLog -- The Bender Internet Group, LLC, owner and operator of TravelApe.com, operating out of Egg Harbor Township, NJ, has recently launched content and information sections for the cities Milan and Venice Italy. The launch of these new sections, continues TravelApe.com's commitment to expanding and revolutionizing it's current base of content and services. This move further illustrates TravelApe's commitment to helping travelers research, learn and book vacations that are fun and exciting.

“Travel Ape was tired of just traveling in the United States as of late and needed a jolt of fun, excitement and adventure he hasn't seen in a while. So we decided to send him on a European excursion “Italian Style”, said Michael Hofeld, Chief Executive Officer, tongue and cheek while discussing TravelApe.com's current expansion of coverage. “The Ape was born out of a need to bring out the fun, excitement and amusement that travel offers to everyone. Every web site out there seems to offer travel and travel planning as plain and one dimensional, so our goal was to extract the “FUN” out of the fundamentals of travel, and get people excited about going on a trip.” Hofeld went on to say, “As of late the Ape's adventures had grown stagnant so we needed to shake things up a little. I'm not sure Italy will be the same”.

The Milan Travel Guide and Venice Travel Guide for Italy sections are also part of the new and updated look of TravelApe.com that includes better navigation and a cleaner page layout. Further, the content provided has bee crafted to specifically market what is so unique about each destination. Milan and Venice are old European cities with incredible attractions but also each offer a dynamic nightlife. The content was created to get travelers excited about each cities special offerings.

As part of a phased approach TravelApe.com's existing sections will be updated in the same manner to offer a better user experience and to better highlight the fun that each destination they serve offers.
