Tiscover creates new East of England website
A new website for the East of England Tourist Board has been developed by e-travel destination portal and management system Tiscover.
The site www.visiteastofengland.com enables travellers to search for information on attractions and make real-time accommodation bookings across the six counties of Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk. The site can now be accessed in four languages, including German, French, Dutch and English.
Content will also be automatically distributed through VisitEngland.com and VisitBritain.com as part of the EnglandNet project.
Visitors to the East of England also have the ability to receive all information from the Tiscover-powered website through mobile phones and other mobile devices.
East of England Tourist Board marketing manager Trevor Hayward said: “We are already enjoying significant increases in consumer internet traffic since we began working with Tiscover last year. We are confident that the launch of the new website will better serve visitors and result in increased revenue and better allocation of resources for the region’s tourism industry.”
Tiscover executive director Karsten Karcher added: “By keeping up-to-date with internet advancements and meeting the expectations of today’s savvy travel consumer, the region is doing what it needs to do to increase its slice of the tourism revenue pie in Great Britain.”
