(PRWEB) December 30, 2002
Athens, Greece – (December 30, 2002) – The launch of the website for the Greek Accommodation Center (GAC), http://www.greece-ontheweb.com”>http://www.greece-ontheweb.com>, a division of http://www.greece-ontheweb.com/AboutUs.htm”>Image Holidays Ltd. was announced today by Yannis Karalis, Managing Director. The website brings accommodations in Athens, Greece and the Greek islands
into the era of real-time reservation booking, supplying the demand of e-consumers for instant, online hotel confirmations. In addition, the Greek Accommodation Center provides online booking for airport transfers
and car hire, giving travel agents and hospitality property owners a comprehensive new method to satisfy their clientele.

Image Holidays Ltd. has been providing travel accommodations in Athens, Greece
and the Greek islands since 1984. When the company’s accommodation providers made the move to the internet, the need for the Greek Accommodation Center became clear. “Incorporating real-time technology in hotel reservations at the quality resorts, apartments and villas in Athens, Greece and the Greek islands benefits e-consumers, travel agents and property owners alike. This development begins a very exciting time for the e-lodging industry, giving e-consumers the instant confirmations and discount rates they want,” said Karalis.

In the past, booking hotel reservations online has been a frustrating process for e-consumers; instead of making a reservation, they had to make a request and wait to receive their confirmation at a later date, because the website was not online with the hotel reservation system. The Greek Accommodation Center resolves this situation by working in sync with hotel reservation systems to issue instant confirmations, bringing the fulfillment ability to booking accommodations that e-consumers enjoy in other types of e-commerce transactions.
Real-Time Technology Welcomed by Hospitality Professionals
Forrester Research conducted a study in 2001, which revealed that only 6% of property owners thought that Global Distribution Systems’ conventional design met their current business demands. Many property owners and travel agents have been actively pursuing new methods to keep pace with e-consumers who prefer online travel planning. The Greek Accommodation Center provides property owners with a vehicle to satisfy e-consumers demands, as they add confirmed, real-time booking functionality. http://www.greece-ontheweb.com/images/geo/astron_out_small.jpg" vspace=”25″ align=”left” width=”150″ height=”125″>For travel agents who are interested in utilizing the Greek Accommodation Center to service their clients, the http://www.greece-ontheweb.com/Agent_Registration_Form.htm”> registration form is available on the website. By 2005 it is expected more than 60 percent of hotel revenue will come from online sales and partnerships.
“E-commerce satisfies today’s busy e-consumer by delivering instant gratification; they can make purchases easily, conveniently and securely. This instant purchase fulfillment ability has been the missing element from the e-lodging industry until now and the goal of the Greek Accommodation Center is to fulfill the
e-consumers expectations. For the traveller who prefers to handle their own accommodation arrangements, receiving their confirmation online directly from the hotel reservation system saves them time, and the special pre-negotiated rates of the Greek Accommodation Center saves them money,” explained Karalis. http://www.greece-ontheweb.com/images/geo/cavotagoo4_small.jpg" vspace=”25″ align=”right” width=”150″ height=”125″>
E-Travel Outlook for 2003
Research shows that people are beginning to feel excited about traveling again. Travel is expected to rebound in 2003, according to the 2002 National Travel Monitor conducted by Yesawich, Pepperdine & Brown/Yankelovich Partners. The study released April 30, 2002 reveals that the travel industry is shaking off the aftershocks of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States.
“The events of the past year have made travel accommodation providers more focused on satisfying the demands of their clientele. E-consumers have asked for real-time hotel reservation confirmations. The goal of Greek Accommodation Center is to give them this capability, and to make their return to travel market as easy as possible. We have created a unique relationship at each resort destination we service by having an agent on-site to cater to the needs of Greek Accommodation Center clients. This reinforces our commitment to provide today’s traveller with the experience they desire through the accommodations they find on our website,” explained Karalis.

Dedicated to travel in Greece and the Greek islands, the Greek Accommodation Center is in tune with another consumer trend. A new survey of 6,580 travel site visitors by cPulse found the number of new users of niche travel sites such as the Greek Accommodation Center was up 82% in the 3rd quarter of 2000, compared with the same time last year. Over 80% of visitors to these sites said they would use them again. Overall, consumer satisfaction is higher with online travel than other e-commerce categories.

The e-consumer will find information for tours, cruises and special events. Agents are available to assist with customized vacation requests as well.

Innovative Website Empowers Consumers to Settle their own Personal Injury Insurance Claim, Save Money

New Website Lets Consumers Settle their own Car Accident Claim and Save Money
ROCKVILLE, MD (PRWEB) August 2, 2004
A new site for settling car accident claims on your own has opened. Just go to http://www.caraccidentsecrets.com, take the auto quiz, view a sample of the book, check out our frequently asked questions section and order the secrets book.
CARACCIDENTSECRETS.COM will help you with settling your own claims resulting from a car accident. Injured parties know their case better than anyone, so why should you have to explain your case to another party (the lawyer) just so that they can just repeat it to a claim adjuster at the insurance company ? You can talk to the adjuster directly and settle your claim by yourself. Insurance companies would rather settle a case with you than pay large court costs and additional lawyer’s fees.
CARACCIDENTSECRETS.COM provides the information necessary to work directly with an adjuster without having to go through a lawyer, saving you lots of money and time. In certain cases you may need a lawyer the book has the secret as to when and why.
The insurance adjuster will work with the injured party to settle the claim. You can now settle a claim with confidence because you will have the same information and secrets the adjusters and lawyers use to settle claims. You should put the money in your pocket not the lawyers. After all, you were involved in the accident, not the lawyer.
The book will show you the SECRET FORMULA that the insurance companies use to determine how much a claim is worth. It’s a secret that can be valuable to you and your family/friends if they are ever in an accident. The book also provides you with the forms you need before and after an accident.
Why pay an lawyer $ 5,000 of a $ 15,000 settlement when you can do it yourself ? Don
New UK Wide Consumer Website Aims to Improve Standards of Service for All
Malvern, Worcestershire, UK (PRWEB) October 1, 2004
. Announcing WordMouth.com (http://www.wordmouth.com) – word of mouth online. An attempt to improve standards of service for all UK consumers. We call on internet users to provide recommendations about their local businesses and services to get the ball rolling. Where do you like to eat, who did a good job in your plumbing, who cuts your hair, where do you service your car?
The idea for WordMouth.com came after a conversation between friends about finding a decent restaurant: the Yellow Pages is great, but how do you know which of the listed entries is going to be any good? The same goes for local traders and other services. There are already websites which display products rated with customer feedback… so why not rate and comment on companies too?
We researched the issue and found that there simply isn’t anything even similar to this available in any country. Sure, there are some specific sites for rating restaurants and hotels and some very underused and empty sites in the UK, but nothing that held all businesses, services, community groups and organisations under one roof.
So we decided to build a website where the general public discuss their experiences both locally and across the UK, for free. At the same time we hope to enable services to provide up to the minute graphical advertising, as well as an opportunity to receive feedback all for a small annual cost (currently just £10 per year).
We believe that WordMouth has the potential to deliver a whole new, and fairer, way of marketing

fsboTimes.com also offers a number of other features including help and information to anyone involved in a real estate transaction. Sellers will be able to find information on preparing their homes for sale, pricing their home and working with buyers. Buyers will be able to find information on researching a home and comparing prices so they don’t end up overspending and don’t end up with surprises after purchasing a new home.
“Our aim is to help make the real estate transaction process as straightforward and transparent as possible so that everyone involved will have a pretty good idea of what to expect.” Said Mr. Harvey. “To that end, fsboTimes works with a select number of service providers who may be required at some point during any real estate transaction. Service providers may include real estate lawyers, contractors, mortgage brokers, movers and other professionals required by both buyers and sellers. fsboTimes.com will even work with buyers to help them connect with the appropriate experts in order to find exactly what they are looking for (if they can’t find it on fsboTimes.com that is).”
