“Tour de Suisse” is launched
September 16, 2008
We are very proud to announce that we have launched “Tour de Suisse”, a contest seeking to find the best touristic tours and activities in Switzerland. You may find it here !
Tour de Suisse offers to everyone living in Switzerland to post innovative and original tours that allow visitors to experience the country from a different perspective than when traveling on the standard touristic paths. The contest runs until November 15th and everyone can vote on the tours through an application that we designed on Facebook.
Facebook is a terrific social community that allows users to integrate APIs on their platform and make use of the powerful social graph. In our case users may create tours and then invite their friends to vote for them using Facebook.

Thus, within few cycles, a creative and convincing entry to the contest may rise to the top of the competition and win one of our amazing prizes. Continue reading…
