YouGoDo.com - The World's Playground Hits 0 to 3 Million in 6 Months!
MARBELLA, Spain, May 14 /PRNewswire/ -- http://www.YouGoDo.com is making a big impact with travellers around the globe. Since its launch in December 2007 the global activities and experiences site has gone from a zero start, to now showing over 3.2 million activity and experience web pages p.a., to its fast growing, activity seeking user base. The site's rapid growth has been achieved by offering its users tens of thousands of exciting 'things to do' in over 130 countries. The inspiration page shows a sample of the more diverse offerings including the London to Sydney Bus, the World's Largest Pub Crawl, Tomato Fights, Segway and Recumbent Tours, Swimming with Horses, Ice Driving, Fighter Flights and exciting Volunteer programs, to mention just a few. The World's Playground is the brain child of two UK expats, now based on opposite sides of the World, Paul Bell in Spain and Gavin Harriss in New Zealand. Gavin, who has spent five of the past eleven years travelling the World, recognised the need for a simple site which showed travellers and tourists 'what to do when they get there'. Gavin states, "I found I could use the big search engines but then I had to wade through pages of hotel sites, and 'hit and miss' local directories. With YouGoDo users are presented with all of their options on a simple search screen." The only aim of YouGoDo is to serve its users with activity and experience ideas. The site easily answers both the simple tourist 'What is there to do in London?' type question, and the more specialist enquiries such as 'I want to go motorcycling in Spain - who offers this?'. A key strength of the site is its ability to allow activity and experience providers to easily add details of their activities, totally free of charge. As a result, the site's activity content is growing daily, as more and more providers join the World's Playground. Its 'free to register' ethic also opens up the World to the interesting smaller 'one man band' type activity providers and charities, which in turn offers YouGoDo users the chance to take part in great local activities they would not have found on 'paid for' directories. Given its broad range of activities the site is guaranteed to have something for everyone! Media: http://www.yougodo.com/media
