The
Stubai Valley, very famous for the Stubai Glacier, the
year round skiing destination at the very end of the Tirol,
Austria valley is, if you’ll pardon the cliché, a picture
perfect area to visit in just about any time of year.
However before we get into all of this, I have a question.
Of all of the Canadians who wrote to me telling me what
kind of a monster I was, really knew that I am just a boy
from Nova Scotia, one totally unconnected with Stubai
Tourism except to provide information? As a person who was
early to realize the potential of the Internet were these
large numbers of people confusing me with either the
Stubai or indeed Austrian offices of tourism?
We are referring here to a
story featured on Canadian TV about the Canadian tourist
who went missing, was found deceased and was the subject
of a supposed cover up. My guess is the lot of them
thought we were responsible in some official way.
Otherwise they would not have been so virulent in their
condemnation. I was vilified, insulted threatened and
more, all because many people think that only the Stubai
Valley office of tourism could own the website bearing the
name. Huh! Our only aim is to provide information that
will encourage folks to visit the Stubai Valley beauty
found in that particular part of Austria. We hope to make
a profit from advertising and helping folk find the right
accommodation, ski area, ski school or what have you.
Let’s go on record here. We are not and have no
affiliation with the Stubai Valley department of tourism,
the Tirol Tourism office, or the Austrian National Tourist
Office. We provide information at a profit.
This information mostly appears in the form of maps, hotel
and tour advertising and the like. Judging by the amount
of people visiting
www.skiaustria.com,
www.stubaiaustria.com and other domains in the
Austrian Travel Network we are most successful in
attracting targeted visitors to our domains. |
