Each year again it's a wonderful experience to be able to contribute, with your support, to our clients digital marketing goals!

It has come to that time of year where we hang up our spectacles, wash our (very overused) coffee cups & slip into holiday mode to enjoy the festive season!

Our office will be closed from 5pm (AEST) Thursday 20th December 2018 and will re-open for normal trading on Monday 7th January 2019.

We will be operating limited support hours between Wednesday 2nd January & Friday 4th January 2019. Please email [email protected] as usual with any requests.

Please note, we will be offering an emergency out of hours support service during the complete holiday closure. For emergency phone support over this time please call 1300 551 448 and follow the prompts. (Please be advised a fee may apply for this service)

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from your eTourism Team! We thank you for being a valued eTourism client and thank you for your support in 2018.

]]> How eTourism Handles Your Data https://dev-etourism.etourismwp.com/how-etourism-handles-your-data/ Wed, 23 May 2012 03:00:00 +0000 https://dev-etourism.etourismwp.com/how-etourism-handles-your-data/ After receiving a number of queries in regards to how or what eTourism does with your private data, including email lists, I thought I would write this blog post to let you all know what eTourism’s policy is in regards to this.

eTourism DOES NOT engage in selling, passing or giving any of your data or information to any 3rd party company including our retail brand eTourism Holidays OR even use it for its own needs or benefit.

If we develop your own website, the data collected during the process of a reservation or a website enquiry belongs to you. eTourism does not have the right to use this information for any other purpose. Every client has its own database within which your data is securely stored and is only accessible by certain people with the necessary security privileges at eTourism We take security very seriously which is why there are various different passwords for systems and strict conditions on the makeup of passwords. Neither party wants a guests private information to fall into the wrong hands.

eTourism uses SSL encryption where appropriate including 256 bit SSL encryption on our market leading eTourism Online reservations system to safeguard the customers private and personal data.

If instructed by a client, we would use your email databases to create or run an email campaign on your behalf. All advertising would include a sender address of your own designated email address not of eTourism. If you send us your database to use, this is imported only into your mailing program and will not be added anywhere else. Your email databases are like Gold to you and eTourism takes this issue very seriously.

eTourism conforms to the anti spam act with all its software and processes to ensure that potential customers do not receive unsolicited emails.

For more information on the Anti Spam act visit the ACMA website: http://www.acma.gov.au/WEB/STANDARD..PC/pc=PC_310294

eTourism Holidays:

If a guest makes a reservation directly through the eTourism Holidays website, call centre or one of the eTourism Holidays branded portals, we reserve the right to market back to these guests. The guests are advised of this at the time of booking or enquiry including the right to unsubscribe from our marketing material if they so wish to.

Should you need to know any further information about this or anything to do with eTourism’s services, please feel free to contact us.

]]> eTourism Releases Mobile Interface for CMS Customers https://dev-etourism.etourismwp.com/etourism-releases-mobile-interface-for-cms-customers/ Fri, 11 Nov 2011 04:32:00 +0000 https://dev-etourism.etourismwp.com/etourism-releases-mobile-interface-for-cms-customers/  

Today we’re excited to announce the release of our Mobile Interface on the eTourism Content Management System. The eTourism Development Team have been hard at work building an interface that is feature rich but simple to use. This new feature has been rolled out to all existing eTourism clients using iLaunch V2.  

 

51% of business travelers use mobile devices to get travel information, more than double the rate of two years ago. (The Traveler’s Road to Decisions 2011) 

 

This new mobile interface has been optimised for viewing on mobile devices such as the iPhone and Android phones. While many recent phones are capable of displaying your standard website – the small screen size can make it difficult to navigate and quickly look up information about your resort.  

Mobile Interface Home Page Andriod

 

The new mobile interface ensures that your website can be accessed quickly and easily by your guests who are not at a desktop computer. 

Mobile Interface Gallery Page iPhone
  • Platforms which are supported will be automatically shown the mobile interface for your website, while unsupported platforms will default to the standard version of your website
     
  • Mobile users can opt to see the standard version of your website
     
  • Updates to your standard website are automatically visible through the mobile interface
     
  • Lower bandwidth means your website loads faster on mobile devices with limited bandwidth
     
  • Easier navigation on mobile devices

 

We’ve chosen not to force iPad users to experience your resorts website through a mobile interface. The experience of an iPad user viewing your resorts website is as good, if not better, than using a desktop browser. We didn’t want a mobile interface, designed for much smaller screen, ruining this experience.  

Available iLaunch Mobile Platforms:  

 

For best experience: iPhone 3GS, Android 2.1, Blackberry 6.0 and above. 

To power your Resorts website by the eTourism Content Management System and take full advantage of the free mobile interface, contact eTourism today.
