New travel news portal is online

Online launch of Travelnews with founding partners Raphaël Surber, Gianni Moccetti, Vanessa Bay and Gregor Waser (from left to right).The new portal provides news and background reports on topics such as airlines, hotels, destinations, travel providers and business travel. The travelnews.ch website is optimized for all common devices - from desktop to smartphone. A daily newsletter can be subscribed to free of charge. Mobile first "We offer the Swiss outgoing and incoming industry a professional, up-to-date and interactive platform," says Gianni Moccetti, Chairman of the Board of Directors of travelnews.ch. Gregor Waser, Editor-in-Chief of travelnews.ch, says: "We want to inform the travel industry and travel enthusiasts with well-researched news and analyses. Our portal offers all readers the opportunity to get actively involved." From a developer's point of view, travelnews.ch has two clear guidelines: Mobile first and constant further development. Raphaël Surber, Technical Director, explains: "When developing travelnews.ch, it was important to us to have a solution optimized for all devices right from the start." Equally important for Surber is the gradual expansion of the platform: "With new ideas, we want to offer our readers added value that was previously unavailable in the Swiss travel industry." Vanessa Bay, who shares the management with Gregor Waser, speaks of a "gap in the market" that travelnews.ch fills. Digitalization in the travel industry is well advanced, "but not in the publishing sector". Also because the tourism industry is currently experiencing a significant upheaval, the news portal has come at the right time: "Distribution channels are being redefined. Airlines and hotels are revising their concepts. Review portals and new online players, including those from the sharing industry, are becoming increasingly important."
