Providing information on winter sports and accommodation in Austria since 1978


There is only one
www.skiaustria.com
. It is the Internet name of choice for those looking for Austrian ski information.
As there is only one Ski Austria.com in the world it is a very valuable asset. The domain does not belong to the Austrian Tourism Board or any other official party that lives to promote skiing and winter sports in Austria. Since 1996 on the Internet the name Ski Austria.com has been owned and published by the Activelifestyle Travel Network (ATN)
The same owners published Austrian information in the print format with Euro Ski Magazine starting in 1978. The print version was discontinued in the late 90’s.  As a leading travel network ATN strives constantly to make its Austrian network more worthy to viewers.

ATN redesigned the Ski Austria domain to offer more and updated information.
The opening page of the domain provides a brief description of the area and contains a prominent link to ski maps. On the second page the viewer will find an equally apparent link to different accommodation and services, as well as the Austrian destination’s Tourism 0ffice. Once there Ski Austria viewers find updated information on all aspects of the destination. In fact the Ski Austria website is the best starting point for anyone, any number, interested in Austrian winter sports. 

However, Ski Austria is not a one trick pony.
In fact it is the portal of the entire Austrian sub network of the 170-domain Activelifestyle Travel Network. Included in the Austrian Travel Network are the Internet domains www.tirolaustria.com, www.austrianarlberg.com, www.stubaiaustria.com, www.stantonaustria.com, www.lechaustria.com, www.holidaysaustria.com, www.bestpriceaustria.com and others.
Many of these can be and are, used to promote Austria the year round. ATN also owns and operates domains that cover European Lakes and Mountains, Alpine and European Golf, Skiing Last Minute, TV domains, as well as available room and apartment networks. In addition ATN owns domains that promote airports, gambling, air tickets and more. ATN also boasts similar domains on France, Italy and Switzerland.

All Austrian domains, indeed all ATN domains boast both partners and affiliates.
These offer accommodation, air transfer and fare specials form all over the globe. Does that make www.skiaustria.com the first view for folks that want to ski in Austria or enjoy other winter sports? We hope so. Started in 1978 as Euro Ski magazine it was not until 1996 that the owner and publisher heard of the Internet and registered what would become the most popular domain on one of the Internet’s most visited travel networks. Our redesign and increase in information will surely appeal to all sorts of Austrian winter sports fans.
Because of this, ATN feels that the popularity of the domain, indeed the entire Austrian network, will grow.

What if anything does that mean to our affiliates, partners and advertisers?

Plenty if niche and targeting count as a valuable criteria. Imagine this; a person either representing herself or a huge ski club decides they would like to ski in Austria. They decide to have a look at what your city, village, valley or region has to offer and accordingly they click thru to that page. There they will find not just a ski map, and a method of booking available rooms, but, a link to the local tourism office and…wait for it…a 75 word classified ad that links directly to your business. It does not matter if it is to a sport shop, hotel or apartment, restaurant, airline or tour operator, you pay just one Euro per day for the privilege of being directly and highly visible on the resort’s page. Think of it! Let’s say you try a 6-month period. That will cost you just 182.50 Euro. There is nothing else to pay; neither commissions nor other fees will be asked of you. The scenario is this; a viewer wants to ski in Austria and, like hundreds of thousands of others, they find the Ski Austria domain. Then they click on your resort or destination for further Austrian information.
One of the first things they see is the link to your business
.


Imagine; your prospective client has selected Austria, picked out your resort and now this potential customer is selecting your accommodation, your business. At 1Euro a day how can you possibly lose?
We at ATN feel we are making the right move by redesigning our Ski Austria domain. Naturally we trust that it will be of even more use to viewers. As a result we hope to earn much more in commissions and advertising. What about you
