Travel with a reliable partnerWritten by Rufat Kuliyev
Question of trust was always critical on web and as generally known web today is one of weakest place in regard to protection of someone's privacy or rights. It affects almost all industries on web and hotel reservation as well. This issue becomes more important while industry expands. The percentage of internet-based hotel reservations was tripled in 2004 to 15.4 percent from 4.9 according to Andersen LLP. It is generally known that 85% of Internet users rely on search engines to find any information on Web (e.g. MSN, Google, Yahoo, AltaVista, etc). But we have to keep in mind that being listed in top search results at major search engines mentioned above gives no guarantee at all that a certain company is really reliable. While search engines make their ranking rules more strict, there are still a good number of websites with false reputation that appear in top search results at major search engines by using some tricks. To make it clear and help web-surfers to understand this issue from a professional point of view our team will give some major hints to which anyone should pay attention to find right company. We will discuss some issues about travel industry, which can be helpful in understanding of major problems.Most of travel websites if not all of them provide only reservation service without giving any information or news about this fast developing industry on web. According to statistics, travel related websites generate a huge traffic on web and of course it brings to a high competition in this industry. Every day thousands of new travel websites appear on web but most of them after spending much efforts and finance, disappear from web as easily as they appeared first. The reason - it is not an easy task to build quality, travel website able to provide not only quality service but also to present a wide range of products professionally. There are many travel websites providing so many information, partly useful and partly not since they don't understand market, its specific needs, needs of customers which finally brings to abundance of information collected on website thus making a trouble to a visitor to find easily what he needs. Other websites while having good hotel database still can't organize their website in a proper way. If you visit this kind of website you can hardly find information about city that you need. You have to spend a few minutes trying to find what you need among huge amount of text links. Hotel search must be organized as easy as possible divided by cities, countries, type of hotels with good advanced search boxes for best discount hotel deals. On some websites when you start searching for discount hotel deals, engine gives you only a few results leaving you almost not a choice. Or you have to visit each hotel link separately resulting in spending much time. That's why most important in any industry on web and especially in travel service is to collect information about all discount hotel deals in best way and put them in front of customer professionally to make his reservation procedure as easy and fast as possible. To provide this service a travel website team must be knowledgeable first and experienced through years not just a few days or months.

Israel. What do you think when your first hear this word? Right, like most people you imagine what you probably saw on CNN or NBC. Blown up buses, Suicide Bombers, Military Operations, Outright Violence – all over place. The only thing that probably cannot be imagined unless experienced first hand is – Day to day living. Hmmm….what does that mean? People like us just living their lives? Do people go out? Absolutely. Yes, in spite of all security issues, most people just seem to carry on with their lives, with their families, with their jobs. Some figures: The average salary is in Israel about $US1800 per month, and average monthly rent is $US600 for a 2-bedroom flat in a decent Tel Aviv Suburb. Yes, quite a few people don’t make that kind of money and cannot afford a $600 flat, but others, somehow, seem to make much more, and spend more too. Cars are taxed heavily - over half of their price is “sales tax” but, you see many brand new $50K European luxury models and new SUVs, some people seem to be able to pay for these.
