Despite major efforts and support by strong supporters from the travel industry as well as business angels, I have been unable to secure the necessary funding to professionally set this up. Regretfully, I am forced to dump this idea I still find a necessity to make the travel industry truly "Web 2.0"-ready.

Based on a former idea, I currently consider to relaunch it as a (trade only) Wiki, complimenting Wikipedia with address information and a source for free images and multimedia. But in order to do this, I must first of all set up the Wiki, then the template pages (to assure a common look and ability to access the information). And that requires spare time in short supply today...

Thank you for your understanding!
