Press Release Summary: Paesionline is a leader in the world of tourist information
on the internet, and has already invested in the development of a portal in the
English language. In this case, like the better known Paesionline.it, it offers a
reference point of tourist information on line for an international public that is
mostly English-speaking.

Press Release Body: After the positive experience of Paesionline.com, we realized
that the use of an English name would be easier to find in the infinite universe of
the World Wide Web.

We have therefore chosen to change Paesionline.com into Placesonline.com. It will
be a portal for every kind of tourism, which will include not only Italy but all the
main international tourist destinations, with particular emphasis on the United
States and the United Kingdom.
The Placesonline home page offers four main channels from which it is possible to
reach all the services offered by the portal: travel guides, travel & holidays,
community and videos.
Travel guide offers a comprehensive guide to more than 200 nations in the world.
Travel & holidays enables reservations of those indispensable services such as
hotels, hostels, airline tickets and car rental. And you can build up your own
holiday one click at a time.
Community guarantees constant interaction between the user and the editorial staff
that will supply the most up to date information. In this connection the writers'
service, that has already been amply tested in the Italian version, is particularly
interesting. The video section has been set up in collaboration with the major
Italian and foreign television production companies, and offers a wide range of
documentaries.
With regard to the Writers' Program, we would like to remind you that it is a
service aimed at all those travelers who have a passion for writing and who wish to
share their travel experiences with the internet public. You can write about the
history and the customs of the places that you have visited. More importantly, it
can provide every possible kind of useful information for the traveler, with
indications of places to see, how to behave and what to avoid. It will contain a
vast range of practical input and experience and will be very interesting and useful
to all users.
The Writers' Program is also accessible from the home page of the new
Placesonline.com portal, or directly from
http://www.placesonline.com/writers/home.asp. Every registered user will have
access to a display service that will allow him or her to publish and manage the
contents.
Placesonline offers two important free services to tour operators. These are YSA
(Your Smart Activity) and Placesonline Business.
YSA permits the promotion of receiver structures on the portal via a display service
into which a description of the structure can be inserted together with photographs
and direct contact addresses. The structure is then inserted and promoted in the
correct locality.
Placesonline Business offers tourism companies the possibility of free promotion of
their services such as itineraries and guided tours, rental of cars or boats, etc.
Again, in this case, after registration, a display allows the user to insert all the
presentation information necessary, including photographic material and other
services for tourists.
Placesonline.com aims, therefore, to furnish the most complete and modern services
to as many users as possible. Just like its "big brother" in the Italian language,
Paesionline.it, Placesonline.com will be the main reference point for English
speaking tourism.
