.travel: Nice, But Not Necessary
The .travel sponsored domain name is now live. Like a mosquito buzzing around your picnic, .travel is an annoying inconvenience. Only three groups are expected to benefit: the sponsor, Tralliance; destination marketing organizations; and small niche travel firms.
By foot, camel or riverboat
Though largely unknown right now, Mali could be on the tip of every traveler's tongue before long. Where is it? On the western side of the African continent.
Though largely unknown right now, Mali could be on the tip of every traveler's tongue before long. Where is it? On the western side of the African continent. It's almost twice the size of Texas and a little tough to get to. So why bother? Because this is one of the most colorful and exciting countries in Africa.
Munich on a Budget

Best And Worst Of European Mobile Site Design, 2005
Forrester evaluated the customer experience of 24 European mobile sites in the media, retail, finance, travel, and public transport industries. None of the sites offers an acceptable user experience, but Rabobank came closest and was in the second-best category overall ? finance; hotel-booking sites scored lowest overall. To improve the customer experience of mobile sites, firms that want to be present in the mobile world must adjust their content and functionality for users on the move, get design help, test sites, and make mobile sites visible and accessible.
Tripso: The seven deadly sins of travel
You don?t have to read Dante to know about deadly sins. The travel experience is filled with enough good ? and evil ? that it would probably inspire the medieval Italian poet Dante Alighieri to write a new volume of his divine comedy.
Sabre/Lastminute.com ? Brilliant
Sabre Holdings announced its intention to buy lastminute.com, a pan-European Web travel agency and retailer, for 577 million. This move will help Sabre and its Web travel agency unit Travelocity.com gain against Expedia, just as Europe is about to see rapid growth in Web travel spending. Lastminute's experience as a diversified retailer in non-travel products will also help Travelocity improve its merchandising capabilities.
Who Books With The Big Three Web Agencies?
Twenty-eight percent of North American leisure Bookers buy from one of the "Big Three" Web travel agencies: Expedia, Travelocity, and Orbitz. But their Bookers aren't exactly faithful: At least one-third of each agency's group of Bookers shops on one of the other two. Each agency's client base has a distinct personality and slightly different travel and buying habits. Orbitz's Bookers, for example, like "cheap chic" travel; Travelocity's Bookers can afford a better experience; and Expedia serves a diverse crowd that values a wide selection of products. To increase share and revenues from each agency, travel suppliers must recognize the distinctions among each agency's Bookers, and create relevant product offerings rather than giving each agency the same thing and just cutting prices.
