Eurovillage on the European Information Infrastructure

 General Information

 Project Objectives

What is Evenet?

The objective of Evenet was to setup, for social tourism professionnals, a faster and more comprehensive information system than the existing one (which was based on fax and phone) and, to validate the feasibility of opening such a system to the general public. Eurovillage partners, Tour Operators and Travel Agencies, operating in the social tourism sector have the opportunity to access the whole Eurovillage catalog in three languages on the web. They can perform multi-criteria searches, pre-bookings and benefit from comprehensive and up-to-date information through a personalized interface.

Based on a market study which identified the actual needs of the users, the Evenet Consortium, supported by DG XIII of the European Commission, set up a comprehensive web service including a multilingual catalog of all Eurovillage labelized resorts and the related features and services needed to use the service as an actual worktool.

Evenet features

The whole Eurovillage catalog is available on-line. Beyond the information contained within the original paper catalog, this electronic version includes additional topics, such as resorts information, access to the site, pictures of the resorts, sitemaps and links to related information.

Electronic Catalogue

The Evenet catalogue is available in three languages which are French, English and Spanish. All the information contained within is translated in those three languages.

Availabilities and Price lists

The availabilities and the price lists for all the resorts and all the formulas are on-line and permanently updated.

Multi criteria search

The whole catalogue is fully searchable.

Special offers

Last minutes special offers are available on the Evenet service.

Personalized interface

Thanks to its user profile management features, Evenet provides each of its user (tour operators,travel agencies, resort providers,...) with his own personalized interface. This includes, the company logo, personalized bookmarks, special offers intended for this user.

Interactivity

Through forums, mails and formal feedback reports, Evenet takes into account the actual needs of the users, which enable the service to be permanently enhanced and upgraded according to these actual users requirements.

Evenet is a free service which is open to all the tourism professionals interested in Eurovillage labelized site.

The future of Evenet

The Evenet Consortium acquired the necessary experience, regarding both the economic constraint and the integration of the various technologies, so as to be able to make the necessary changes in order to open the service to the general public in 1998.

As of December 1997, more than 250 European tourism professionnals are registered users of the Evenet service.
