Hello ProjecTravelites,

In the coming weeks we’ll be opening up the site for registration – but why would you want to register for what is effectively a group of blogs? Will you see any benefits, what can or will you get out of it? These answers to your questions and more will be answered in the coming paragraphs.

What are we exactly doing that requires registration?

Simply put we’re implementing two new features. First, you’ll be able to register an update your own blog on the site. Much like on similar portals out there, but the difference here is that we’ll take your best travel stories and display them on the main page via rss feed. For those interested in city blogger however will still need to apply through traditional channels.

Secondly, we’re launching the ProjecTravel forum – a place for travellers to meet, greet, each other, talk about what’s hot in the world of travel and where to go, pass on best practice advice, etc… etc… and in true ProjecTravel spirit, you wont be bothered with all the rubbish associated with some competing sites. Just a forum, and that’s it – no clicking through 10-15 pages to get to the post that you want. No 15.000 ads or recommendations to book hotels. The information you need, provided to you directly.

Will you be going live with everything ready on day one?

As with everything we’ll be launching an early beta, most of our blogs now are physically set up and managed, and the settings for each need to be adjusted individually. Somehow, we plan to automate this process, and once we get everything going right, we will launch with the Beta Version of the blogs. The forums should launch before the blogs do and will be pretty much good to go from day one.

Why are we doing it?

Long story short we want to make the experience better on the site for everyone, and we believe that quality and easily accessible information online is pretty hard to come by so we’re moving the site forward – and well…. trying to provide a better service to all our readers.

How will this work?

We know how annoying it is signing up for another website, that’s why we’ll be letting everyone log in to the site via facebook, google, yahoo, myspace and a few other platforms. Meaning that basically if you have an e-mail account you should be able to log into ProjecTravel without so much as a worry. Hopefully this will make everyone’s experience here all the better, and hopefully will bring us a step closer to developing a platform that will be truly helpful to current and future travellers alike.

What about stuff for the future?

Well… there’s a more elaborate community portal in the works, and we’ve got a few other things in our pocket…. but a bit hush hush on those at the moment. All in all, we’re trying to make something out of nothing, and we really appreciate your support, the articles you’ve submitted and the word that you’ve spread and keep on spreading regarding ProjecTravel.com.

- Thanks Management

Hi ProjecTravelites,
As you have undoubtedly seen, we launched with city blogs on the 5th of October, and plan to expand this to include additional cities. Within the next few days we will be launching our next City Blog – Paris – in order to compliment the ones we already have.
Notwithstanding we’ve had some feedback regarding [...]

If you’ve been coming to the site, you may well have noticed that instead of a typical article we’ve been posting pieces from our soon to be bloggers, and you’re wondering why?
Good question. Well… to put it bluntly we’re readying ourselves and you guys for the next phase of the ProjecTravel portal, dedicated city blogs, [...]

Dear readers and followers of ProjecTravel, we’d like to apologise for falling off the ball and not providing you with your biweekly fix of travel article content last week from around this wonderful little planet we call home.
What happened was we moved operations to Barcelona, got an office, moved into said office only to find [...]

Hi everyone. With Compass Magazine doing better than ever, more new traffic coming to the site daily, our facebook group growing organically and people starting to follow us on Twitter,  we’ve decided it’d be a jolly good idea to expand the portal and add some new and exciting features to the ProjecTravel.com portal.
What are they [...]

Don’t know if everyone’s seen, but we’ve been trying to get you articles up on the site as they come in – if you want to write for us, remember all you have to do is write to submissions@projectravel.com and we’ll back to you with what how, when and the like.

There’s so much that has happened in the world of ProjecTravel over the past few days that to put it bluntly, we don’t really know where to start this little update.
First, we’ve officially gone live with the online magazine, launching at 8:00pm GMT on July 1st with ten articles.  The four hours the mag was [...]

we will be publishing an annual – print magazine / coffee table book that will include the most amazing images which we come across in our and our your travels, this book will also include feature articles and stories that were saved just for this publication.

Today we announced on the main projectravel.com site that the first portion of the portal will be going live on July 1st – the projecTravel Magazine. We’ve been working very hard to get something together that will not only be special but will make us stand out from the rest of the online travel mags out there, and I think once we go live you guys will be pleasantly surprised.

For those of you who came to the projectravel site over the weekend you’ll know there were some blips on the radar, and things weren’t working like they should have been. This is because we moved hosts, had to re-upload everything, and reset everything end overall it was just a nuisance, but now we’ve gotten ourselves onto [...]
