The Internet tourism portal
www.tiscover.com reported a new record for bookings in the last two months of 2007: bookings and booking requests rose by more than 40% compared to the previous year’s figures!

Some 240,000 bookings and booking requests processed through
www.tiscover.com in November and December 2007. Compared to the figures of 2006 this means an increase of more than 40%. Then “only” 170,000 bookings and inquiries were handled.
According to Tiscover’s executive board director, Konrad Plankensteiner, there are several reasons for this: “Unlike in 2006 we had great weather conditions and plenty of snow already in November 2007! Moreover we offered even more bookable accommodation in all price categories. And we have further improved the contents offered, e.g. our new presentation of more than 800 ski areas in the Alps!” Altogether more than one million bookings and booking requests were processed by
www.tiscover.com in 2007.
