Located off the eastern coast of the Iberian Peninsula, Ibiza is a Mediterranean paradise. Offering a unique blend of beautiful countryside and a coastline of countless beaches and coves, Ibiza is world renowned as a must-visit destination.
With such a tourist draw combining sports, gastronomy, nightlife, and more, Ibizaโs Consell Insular dโEivissa needed a clear marketing message for its tourism department, thus, www.ibiza.travel was launched. Announced at the World Travel Market in 2007, www.ibiza.travel was originally created in three languages: Catalan, Spanish, and English and continues to add languages with its current website available in German, Italian, and French.
โWe adopted ibiza.travel to support the local Ibiza travel industry,โ stated Josefa Marรญ Ribas of Consell Insular dโEivissa. โWith such great importance to the global tourism industry, .travel was a logical choice to promote our accommodations, sports, culture, and gastronomy.โ
The web statistics are a clear sign of Consell Insular dโEivissaโs success in choosing to implement .travel in its marketing campaign to raise the awareness of this Mediterranean hot spot. In 2008, the site received nearly 85,000 visitors. For 2009, it is predicted to well surpass that number as the first quarter of 2009 had nearly 40,000 visitors. Additionally, the ibiza.travel site is enticing new travelers. It continues as a trend that year after year roughly 75 percent of all website views are from new, first-time viewers.
