This page provides you with
many desirable features for a browser Home Page. Firstly there's
the controllable slide show of great pictures from around the
world — for interest and a restful picture. Click any
picture to open the related article; this feature provides you
with a good overview of our many travel articles. The page also
offers access to Google search of this site or the web and offers
news - including a special travel sub-heading. In fact, this
page was built just for you.

Site Links and Pictures
Two important things to remember: bold text,
like this, indicates
a clickable link; you can click-to-enlarge any photograph where
the cursor changes to a hand when you hover the mouse over it.
Enlarged pictures appear in another associated window —
so remember this if you are working full screen!

Advertise
on this Site
This site offers many different cost-effective options for advertisers
in the travel industry. Click
here for more details, but be sure to contact
us if you would like to see more specific information
and our rate card. You might also like to consider the special
advertising spots offered on this Alt-Home page by our
Featured Travel Resources
— a central table, plus the free bonus of a randomly selected
amplified text banner at the top of the page — or the
Featured Travel Sites
feature on our Home Page.
Providing you have a suitable travel-related site, either of
these gives you the highest possible profile. We also offer
text ads that can be tailored to be context-sensitive across
several pages (FADs), and banners with associated links that
avoid blocking software. Or why not consider becoming a Strategic
Partner to gain free advertising in return for
informed travel articles? This entitles you to a free text ad
on your article's page.
Book
Promotion
There's nothing better than a good book to take on vacation,
so we promote good novels and travel books across our travel
pages. Authors and publishers have the chance to set their titles
alongside a bestseller! [More] |
