Mini-biographies: Durant Imboden · Cheryl Imboden
Quick stats and facts:
Our
travel Web sites began as The Baby Boomer's Venice in early 1996, followed by
Venice for Visitors and Switzerland for Visitors when The Mining Co. (later to
become About.com) was launched in
1997. These topics soon expanded into Europe for Visitors and
Switzerland/Austria for Visitors, and one of us (Durant Imboden) also found time
to write a guidebook, Buying Travel Services on the Internet, for
McGraw-Hill.
Our relationship with About.com ended in fall, 2001. Since then, we've
acquired our own domains and placed our copyrighted material on six tightly integrated
sites: Europe for Visitors,
Venice for Visitors,
Paris for Visitors,
Switzerland for Visitors,
Austria for Visitors, and
Europe for Cruisers.
These editorial "content sites" provide more than 6,000 pages of original articles, annotated links to other Web sites, and additional travel-planning resources that are specifically geared to European travel and cruising--primarily in Western and Atlantic Europe, but with Eastern Europe on our to-do list.
To serve our readers, we travel extensively and have an annual travel budget in the five figures. We also work closely with European tourist offices and other organizations to deliver in-depth coverage of destinations, cruises, and other travel experiences in Europe.
