To Find or Not to Find...Okay you say - free home page - how can that be "hot news" when it's ton's of them around? Let me then add that the mail I got also told me that these free sites is ONLY for the tourism industry. Apart from that each company can promote their own page on his/her own - they are all as well collected and very easy searchable in a ztour's intuitive and accessible site. It's the "simple" that often is the genial - and ztour.com (Ziegenhorn Tourism Database) is genial in it's simplicity. Have a look at their home page where you are meet by a world map.

Look up again on the map, and you will find that the map is likewise divided in sectors with different colours. Click on the link or the right area / colour - and off you go. Next door you are presented for at ztour.com, is all the countries in your chosen area, go to the country you want - and you get following list: [Hotels and Guesthouses] [Resorts] [Bed and Breakfast] [Vacation Rentals] [Camping] [Tour Operators] [Travel Agencies] [Tourist Offices] [Passenger Boats and Cruises], and [Other Tourism Companies].

I was requested to contact support - and in just an hour time they had fixed the problem. So add service as another strong part of Ziegenhorn Tourism Database.

In a highly informative mail I got from Dipl.-Wirtschaftsing. Heinz Ziegenhorn, he define ztour.com two main goal as: 1. To bring travel professionals together. If, for example, a German tourism company looks for a business partner in New Delhi, he may find the right company on ztour (business-to- business). I could go on an on about this site, but
