New Tourism Website for Guatemala
GUATEMALA CITY - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Guatemala, Heart of the Mayan World, has a new website, www.visitguatemala.com.
INGUAT, the Guatemalan Office of Tourism, brings national and
international attention to Guatemala's tourism information through this
medium by creating a renovated image full of color and a photo gallery
with scenic pictures of Guatemala taken by the country's top
photographers.
The new website is recognized for its visual appeal that allows
for easy and user-friendly navigation suitable for visitors of all
ages. The site's categories use an international language written in
words and phrases spoken by everyday people. The information displayed
covers general information about Guatemala, areas, regions, tourism
services, maps, travel advice, embassies, national treasures, and the
most visited destinations that showcase the essence of Guatemala, its
historical legacy, nature and modernity.
"We have created this new website in Spanish and English because
we want to highlight Guatemala's tourism potential with a tool as
powerful and fast as the Internet. The images, combined with the
information in each place, turn into an attractive invitation for
everyone that searches for a different type of tourism, in which a
visitor can combine adventure and fun with the richness of Mayan culture
and legacy yet alive in our country," states Roberto Robles, Director of
INGUAT.
In this new version of the website, multimedia plays an important
role. Included in the site are videos powered by YouTube, PowerPoint
presentations, marimba music, the National Anthem of Guatemala and photo
galleries that will be contributed to by national and international
aficionados and professionals.
"Send a Post Card" is a section that puts the best photographs in
the site at users' fingertips. Visitors will input their information,
and then may send pictures of Guatemala to loved ones' cell phones and
e-mail addresses.
www.visitguatemala.com
is a marketing platform and part of a series of strategic actions that
INGUAT is creating to increase Guatemala's potential tourism in
conjunction with a brand that represents the essence of Guatemala, Heart
of the Mayan World.
