DiscoverOurTown's Intuitive Approach Aides International Travelers

Jackson, MS (Vocus) August 29, 2010

DiscoverOurTown is a resource for people looking for information beyond just the largest American cities. The site is very easy to navigate for travelers who do not speak English as a first language. The interface is very simple, intuitive and free of distracting pop-up messages. The traveler first clicks on the State to visit on the US map. Second step for the user is to click on the city listing where the traveler is planning to travel to for a more detailed view of that City or State. Next select the desired category: Lodging, Restaurants, Attractions, local shopping, travel plans, local weather, local online news, and flight or car rentals.

The goal of the site is to feature the best and highest quality local businesses in each market that they covered. It is not an all inclusive site but rather a “best of” travel directory.
