Who is coming to Europe ?

    I'm about to develop my .eu domain for travellers coming to Europe and need some ideas. When you plan a trip to Europe, what kind of information are you looking for ? Where do you go to find that sort of information ?

    The site will contain:
    Visa/Passport info
    Places of interest
    Airport information
    Travelstories
    ......


    What other information would you need ?


    ....... and by the way:....... welcome to Europe !;)

    I'm already in Europe :)

    When I travel around europe I look for good car rental prices, good price hotels but not to cheap and scary. Also some sites to visit if I have the weekend off work while I am traveling around.

    I doubt many people travel "to Europe" though.

    I would presume that they travel "to Germany", or "to England" etc.

    www access info
    cell phone romaing info

    weather chart - seasons with typical temperatures
    season related high lights
    - like fall = winefeasts, octoberfest, etc
    - winter = snow skiing, etc
    - spring = all blossoming
    - summer = water sports, beach

    business-visits
    a calendar of large fairs like
    ISPO, inhorgenta, basler mustermesse, etc

    - christmas ... glühwein, heisse maroni, etc

    I safely assume you are multilingual yourself and have a multilingual .eu site !!

    wallpapers with scenery from eu
    dine-out places
    EEC/non-EEC regulations
    dancing/meeting people places

    so come here - there is place, space and fun of life for many - provided you have a solid job you can do all on your own where ever you are
    I have been living many years in EU as well

    you may also have a look at this site about travel
    its a friend's site - in Italian language only

    the basics:
    members login and post their own travel experience with photos and comments

    his site eventhough in italian only is extremely successful ( I saw his stats a few months ago ) - he started about a year ago and sky-rocketed UP in traffic.

    may be you can integrate some similar software for all the travel experiences
    may be even multi-lingual ? or at least in a few major EU languages.

    having members post photos and comments about travel experiences of course creates soon enough steadily new pages on daily basis and hundreds of new pages / photos weekly to boost traffic - the more experiences posted the greater the value of the site for new visitors

    another software useful for member-posting photos with comments would be gallery2 - open source - excellent and easy to maintain/install VERY SE friendly - automated RSS feed creation / sitemap creation, etc - runs on Linux and can be integrated with a variety of CMS - see " Embedded Environment" or run as standalone - see my: gallery of Philippine islands

    a picture says more than thousand words
