The wait is over; the next generation of Australian travel news is here.

e-Travel Blackboard unveiled its next-generation, interactive, multi-layered website today, following weeks of industry speculation.

“With 25 years of travel industry experience, Agents Supports Systems is celebrating e-Travel Blackboard’s 10th birthday with a new and inspiring look and feel. This is exactly what our readers and our experience tell us the industry needs,” General Manager, Anthony Valeriano said.

The new website features a design aimed at giving readers the best online experience, while making current travel industry news easy to find and simple to read.

“Our fresh new look pushes us to the forefront of travel news, allowing us to bring our readers information the way they want it. The launch of our ‘Breaking News Ticker’ makes us more interactive, more current and more of a must-read publication,” Editor, Daisy Melwani said.

“We hope our readers are as excited as we are.”

The improved layout not only provides an increasing interactive environment, but also offers unprecedented services to its 31,000 daily subscribers and 500,000 monthly visitors.

With a sleek, augmented style, the website also features a more image-intensive layout, with the industry’s most comprehensive photo galleries complimented by eTBTV videos.

The new website will see e-Travel Blackboard remain on the cutting edge of modern social media, with the inclusion of a ‘recommendations’ section linking ‘liked’ articles to almost 300 popular sites, such as Facebook and Twitter.

Other changes include e-Travel Blackboard’s most read section which now details the current day’s top stories as well as the most popular articles from the past week and month, ensuring industry professionals never miss important news.

For valued advertisers, e-Travel Blackboard has enhanced the website with perceptive sponsorship and advertising placements, giving clients even more value that spans beyond the website, with every advertisement or article now also automatically appearing on Google.

“New developments will be unveiled in coming months, though the best way to see all the new functionality is to spend some time on our site and we promise, you’ll be surprised with what you’ll find,” Sales & Marketing Manager, Robert Manuel said.
