2010 World Travel Directory Application
 

1.

 
OPERATORS - If you run an eco-friendly, people-friendly, place-friendly operation, apply for a listing in Planeta.com's exclusive World Travel Directory. Premium coverage includes a directory listing and a link on the relevant country guide. Not all applications are accepted.

All prices are in U.S. dollars. The cost for a premier listing is $250/year. A listing in the directory alone is $100/year. Both options give operators access to Planeta.com's Workshop 21.

We ask that operators fulfill specific criteria and an account on the Planeta Forum (where we post the private Workshop 21 updates.

ABOUT PLANETA.COM - Planeta.com is the pioneering award-winning website created in 1994 where travelers and professionals connect with operators.

ABOUT THE APPLICATION - We ask a number of questions about you operation and awareness of web technologies. Don't panic! We want to learn more about your work and reflect on the training we can offer to help your operation.

REQUEST - When composing the 25-word description, please avoid superlatives. Exaggerated language, such as 'the best' or 'the only' is usually ignored by readers as unproven hype. Instead, be positive and be specific.
