Davos presents itself with a site which is complete, informative and up-to-date for any person who is interested in Davos as an international holiday, sport, cure and congress resort. Today, in the tough tourism market it is vital to use the newest communication technologies. On the one hand, it is possible to demand more information; on the other hand it is possible to book accommodation in hotels or apartments.

There are many resorts/regions/cities present on the internet. All have one target: To be present in this new medium and win additional customers.

Statistics

Davos had in December 1996 for example

• 131,793 transmitted pages (not visitors but actual questioned pages
• 326 specific demands for details
• 908 offers or reservations
• an average of approximately 40 e-mails per day

As the Web-site is a specific service-company organisation for tourism in Davos, it is not possible to quantify the business which results from this information. Only the 908 offers/reservations cause a turnover on commission for the intermediary. However, the objective of the Web-site is primarily to provide information and only secondarily to gain business.
