Last year I posted a note about Best Western Hotels will start using Virtual Tours for its North American Hotels. Well I have composed a list of articles covering 1998 to 2005. Might be worth a read. Oh and be sure to have your ream of printer paper available to print all the Press Releases that deal with Virtual Tours and Hotels.
I relly belive it is helpfull with these kinds of articles we can show to potential customers. Then they do not just have to take our word saying it is a powerfull media!!
Most site design errors are pretty common-sense issues. Some designers forget that the mission is to sell rooms; not simply to design a pretty web site. The most common errors are:
Poorly written and ineffective text
Too little information on the hotels location; sometimes none at all
Lack of a good visual representation of the hotels facilities
The use of inappropriate and excessive use of flash elements
Lack of research in the development and placement of meta tags and key words
The choice of a poorly designed booking engine; or none at all
Lack of a functional link strategy
Lack of conformity to search engine requirements "
