TouristInfo 2.0: A Social Network for Travelers and Tourism Professionals
NUREMBERG, Germany, Jan. 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Are you planning a vacation in 2011? TouristInfo 2.0 (http://touristinfo.ning.com) brings travelers and tourism providers together. Since the site launched in December 2010, true locals and tourists, as well as hotels, tour operators, bed and breakfasts and other tourism professionals, have all contributed a variety of photos, videos and authentic, reliable regional information. Thanks to their efforts, the new travel community is off to a great start.
"Yet another tourism site?" What sets this tourism network apart is its open structure. It is modeled on a social network, but still offers its members numerous options for structured and quite sophisticated content presentation and publishing, including search engine optimization features.
Members can upload photos; create and embed albums on their home pages; add events and send invitations; build rich profiles; and pull in content from other sites. Regardless of the content they create, members have their own status update notifications for sharing it -- within the network and also with their Facebook friends and Twitter followers. All pages, profiles, photos, albums, posts and events can be liked via Facebook. Moreover, members may post to the network's blog where each entry is automatically republished on TouristInfo 2.0's Facebook page.
"A major part of tourism is about creating connections between people and the fast, easy exchange of information and ideas," says Dr. Eckard Ritter, the network's founder. "So social media is ideal for both travelers and vacation service providers. TouristInfo 2.0 is proud to offer our members the best of social media and web 2.0 so they can create, share and publish personal content. The site is user friendly and ideal for the non-technically inclined who still want to build great-looking content with no hassle."
Internet Partnership, based in Nuremberg, Germany, helps hotels and tourism organizations get found more easily on the web and reach a global audience. Dr. Eckard Ritter has more than 16 years experience as an entrepreneur, technology expert and inventor. He has developed several tourism sites for German and European destinations, booking systems and online site builders for mobile and desktop formats.
