With each new year come the resolutions to improve ourselves and the lives of others. In 2005, we at Frommers.com resolve to serve you better with the new look and improved features on our redesigned site. Our goal? To make it easier for you, our readers, to be able to find the specific travel information you want to help you plan your trip.
But don't worry, much of what you like and has proven so successful has stayed the same -- like our free online coverage of over 3,500 Destinations and our popular Frommers.com Newsletters.
Here are the standout features we think you'll enjoy:
Hotels
Leisure travelers' number one concern is finding a place to stay that best suits their needs when away from home. Now, we've made it easier to find any Frommer's reviewed establishment with our new Hotels section. Enter an accommodation's name to bring up an existing review or enter a destination to see an index of all reviewed hotels in that location. Simply click the "Hotels" tab at the top of this page or go to www.frommers.com/hotels.
Site Search
Our new search capabilities will help you hone in on the just the information you're looking for. Results appear more quickly and are conveniently separated by their sources:
- Destinations: Links you to coverage for cities and countries around the world
- From our Guides: Takes you to our in-depth coverage
- Deals and News: This is where you'll find online-only columns from the Frommers.com Newsletter
- Bookstore: Find all the guidebook titles to purchase for your trip
- Message Boards: Join in discussions with other travelers
To take it for a spin, enter your search term in the search box (located in the upper right hand corner), then click "GO."
Book a Trip
Our updated interface will makes it easier for you to make reservations for flights, rooms, packages and more -- all directly from Frommers.com. Click the "Book a Trip" tab at the top of the page or go to www.frommers.com/book_a_trip.
Global Navigation
You'll notice some new tabs at the top of the page as well, all designed to help you what you want with fewer clicks of the mouse. In addition to the new Hotels tab, you can find all those great Frommer's articles organized under Trip Ideas, News and Deals, and Tips and Tools; you can find our popular Message Boards under Travel Talk; and our online catalog of travel guides for sale under Bookstore.
