From sun-drenched beaches to snow-capped mountains, Viator has destination activities around the world to suit every traveler’s desire

San Francisco, CA. – January 10, 2007 – The first few months of 2007 – whether the Northern Hemisphere’s winter or the Southern Hemisphere’s summer – can be enjoyed with experiences from Viator that span the globe as well as various climates. Travelers can take advantage of their local weather conditions or make an escape to something different with the vast offering of more than 5,000 destination activities – the things you do when you get there - that Viator has selected for its customers in more than 75 countries.

Action in The Sun
Travelers can learn to surf or rediscover the basics of this adrenaline charged sport with a two-hour session at the Maui Surf School starting at $55.00 per person. Maui’s coastline offers some of the most beautiful warm water surfing conditions and non-surfers in the party can enjoy sunbathing and sand-play at nearby Breakwall Beach, located ocean-side of Lahaina Harbor. The eight-hour Snorkeling Excursion to Isla Mujeres (just over half a mile wide) starting at $65.00 per person begins with a 45-minute cruise from Cancun to this small and laid-back island just eight miles across the bay from the cosmopolitan Mexican city. The west and north sides of the island feature white sandy beaches surrounded by the beautiful turquoise waters of the Caribbean where travelers can get up close and personal with local aquatic residents.

Warm Weather Excursions
With the captain of a luxury sailing yacht plotting the course, travelers can relax as they enjoy the five-hour Sydney Harbour Sailing Day Trip, starting at $163.76 per person. The cruise up Darling Harbour passes landmarks like the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Opera House, the Rocks, Farm Cove and Fort Denison. As the captain turns toward Spring Cove, a gourmet lunch is prepared and passengers have an opportunity to cast a line for some calm-water fishing. Travelers can experience the only surviving “Wonder of the Ancient World” – the Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops) dating back to 2500 BC - during the seven-hour Cairo Private Tour of the Egyptian Museum, Giza Pyramids, Sphinx and bazaars, starting at $54.00 per person. The tour includes the mysterious Sphinx and the Egyptian Museum which houses the famous collection of King Tutankhamun’s treasures, as well as the Khan el-Khalili Bazaars dating back to 1382. The warmth of Costa del Sol, Spain can be enjoyed during the eleven-hour Gibraltar Sightseeing Tour, starting at $50.28 per person. The excursion crosses the border from Spain into British territory where travelers experience Punta Europa, the Rock of Gibraltar featuring views of the Spanish and Moroccan coastlines, as well as the Saint Michael caves, a dramatic natural grotto.

The Thrill of the Chill
Viator gets travelers out in the cold with thrilling chilly activities in destinations worldwide. The two-hour Fitzsimmons Creek Snowmobile Tour in Whistler, Canada starting at $111.89 per person, follows wide mountain trails along the Fitzsimmons Creek watershed between Whistler and Blackcomb Mountain. This tour is perfect for families and first timers. Travelers in Fairbanks, Alaska can enjoy an exciting dogsled ride with Mushing 101 starting at $80.00 per person with appropriate arctic outerwear provided. An experienced “musher” gives instructions on driving the sled and harnessing the dogs that are hardworking and loyal, but happy to nuzzle up to their new students. Skiers and snowboarders visiting Lake Tahoe, Nevada, will enjoy Heavenly Ski Resort Lift Tickets, starting at $199.00 per person for a 5-day pass (multi-day options and specials are updated regularly). Heavenly features Lake Tahoe’s highest elevation, longest vertical drop and the West Coast’s largest snowmaking system, with slopes for beginners, intermediates and experts alike.

Icy Adventures
Zurich, Switzerland is host to the nine-hour Mount Titlis Eternal Snow & Glaciers tour, starting at $106.71 per person. After a drive over Albis Pass, travelers enjoy a city tour of Lucerne before continuing to Engelberg, where a breathtaking journey begins. The adventure includes a ride on the revolving cable car “Rotair” to behold the spectacular sight of the glacier’s deep crevasses and gigantic ice boulders. Travelers seeking an “off the beaten path” adventure will enjoy the offerings provided on the South Island of New Zealand with Franz Josef Ice Climbing, starting at $138.50 per person. Climbers gear up with the necessary equipment, take a short bush walk through regenerating rainforest, then proceed to Fox Glacier where they learn all aspects of ice-climbing from a professional guide, spending the remainder of the experience ascending the soaring ice walls with progressively harder climbs throughout the day.

There is something for every traveler at Viator, even guidance for those who aren’t quite sure what they’re looking for with help from the recently launched Viator Travel Blog. This interactive first-hand forum provides travel inspiration, advice and recommendations, or as Viator likes to put it “the things we blog…when we’ve been there.”

Hollywood, CA (November 14, 2006) – Viator, the world’s leading online provider of global destination activities has re-designed its consumer website – Viator.com – with a new look and feel, enhanced search and booking functionality, more products in more destinations, and the Web (and Travel) 2.0 holy grail – user-generated content. The site redesign was announced today at the Annual PhoCusWright Executive Conference in Hollywood, California.

With the mission of turning “tourists into travelers” – helping consumers of travel products dig deeper into their destination rather than skimming the surface – Viator conducted focus groups and user surveys to decipher what consumers want and need to have at their fingertips to do so. Those findings were implemented, creating a consumer-centric website that is streamlined and informative, intuitive and quick.

“Web 2.0 and Travel 2.0 philosophies dovetail perfectly with the Viator philosophy that to truly experience a destination you need to be a part of the total process,” said Rod Cuthbert, founder and CEO of Viator, and Center Stage speaker at the Executive Conference. “Over the past ten years, our business has developed in close tandem with the changing face of the travel consumer. They want access to the necessary tools – the widest array of products available, competitive prices, user-generated content, expert advice, and a flexible and fast booking channel – to take planning and booking into their own hands.”

Travelers helping travelers
To further empower and inspire the consumer, Viator has integrated user-generated content including Traveler Reviews and Ratings and the Viator Travel Blog. Traveler reviews and ratings, currently featured for Viator’s most popular destinations, are generated through “Welcome Back” emails sent to customers upon completion of their activities. These direct to consumer emails filter out marketing pitches and competitor attacks, so that travelers are presented with unbiased and honest feedback. Reviews are edited for inappropriate content only, so if an activity was less than promised, other travelers will know about it. Viator intends to continuously review the user-generated content for ways to further evolve and enhance Viator.com’s product offering. The following is an example of a recent customer review featuring an activity in the Central Australian Desert:

“If you are near to Uluru and you do not go to this (tour) you don’t deserve to travel! This is a social, culinary and educational tour de force. It is understated, professional and after a slow start builds to a truly amazing experience. “Highly recommended” simply doesn’t convey my enthusiasm well enough.”

“Viator is getting our customers to go beyond the beaten path to experience more at their destination,” Cuthbert continued. “Asking them to supply us with their unbiased review of our products takes them even further by allowing their experience to positively impact that of another traveler. We’re taking them even a step further with our travel blog which encourages community with interactive dialogue.”

What’s new at Viator.com
As with the trip itself, the online experience should be exciting, uncomplicated and fulfilling. The new Viator.com features include:

* Traveler Reviews and Ratings
* The Viator Travel Blog
* an intuitive design highlighting the most popular activities in 450 destinations worldwide
* completely remodeled look and feel
* more featured product options in an easy to navigate format
* product and theme “spotlights”
* interactive media content including still images, video and maps
* enhanced search capabilities including by date, destination, type of activity and key word

Lowest price – guaranteed
To encourage travelers to research and book their activities before they travel to save valuable time at their destination for fun and adventure, not planning, Viator maintains a competitive lowest price guarantee – guaranteeing the lowest price available online, at the destination – anywhere. If a customer finds a lower price for the same tour or activity offered by the same operator (priced in the same currency) within 48 hours of booking, Viator will refund the price difference. If a Viator customer finds a lower price direct from the operator, Viator will refund the price difference.

It’s all about the traveler
In addition, Viator has created a Wishlist for users to store their favorite activities for future reference. This quick, easy to use feature enables the traveler to research and plan at their convenience, but avoids repeating their search when they’re ready to book. Wishlists can be emailed to travel companions as well. To further streamline the research and booking process, Viator has implemented a toll-free 24/7 customer service number, currently for customers in the United States with plans to roll out this access worldwide in the near future.
