SolomonIslands-Hotels.travel is a new web portal that is opening the door to independent travelers wishing to book services with local tour operators and accommodations. "The portal is an important addition to our country's tourism promotion channels," said the Solomon Islands Minister for Tourism, Mr. Seth Gukuna. "It will not only enhance Solomon Islands appeal, but also enable business to be conducted in this important sector."
SolomonIslands-Hotels intends to use its .travel name in all marketing aspects including email, business cards, collateral materials, and expos. It has also used its .travel name in a recent interview on a National ABC radio program - "Talking Pidjin" - and in its participation in the Adventure Travel shows in Sydney and Brisbane in November 2008.
The name "Solomon Islands" was a natural choice to the owners, as "hotels" is a significant key word in searches and .travel reflects the nature of the site. By using its .travel name, SolomonIslands-Hotels expects to see an increase in independent travelers due to the additional exposure and well presented information available to them. They are also expecting a broad spectrum of visitors. The Solomon Islands has a variety of activities and special interests that will attract a wide spectrum of travelers from backpackers to business travelers.
If you are interested in learning more about the warmth and ecological beauty of the Solomon Islands, along with the wide variety of activities available, please visit SolomonIslands-Hotels.travel.
