Egypt, January 3, 2011
After 11 years of reliable, continuous cooperation, the faithful old home page was replaced with a new one: It should be visually beautiful, as well as clearer. We wanted to provide more available details for our guests and users of the site. More space for Stories, News, Messages, for weekly thoughts with the View through the Mask, place for Underwater Galleries, Dive Site Maps, Pictures of our Dive Centers--the new site should provide all of these, and a portion of it should be interactive.
Therefore, our programmer Pius worked for months with the marketing department of SUBEX, and piece by piece the SUBEX website took on a new form. Then, when the test phase was complete, it was declared on June 16, 2010, "Please switch off the old home page and upload the new one,“ knowing well that in the next few weeks, the little errors which had been overlooked despite careful accuracy and proofreading, must be gradually corrected.
And we had great help: We called the consumers to our website to inform us of their opinions, and to enlighten us about the performance of functions and any slight errors. We wanted to know what our guests like, what appeals to them, and where we can still make improvements.
As a reward, we were giving away 3 x 2 10 dive packages to the respondents.
We ended the test phase as planned, after a good half year, in December 2010, and took stock: We received a total of 24 reviews. Starting from the hint that a link was not yet working correctly, to page-long suggestions, like how to rank the home page better on Google, or how to visually simplify the site. In collaboration with the users of the site, we can constantly improve. For example, a Skip Intro button has been added, we have expanded the photo galleries, and videos are now linked to youtube.
Thanks to all who participated: Mission accomplished!
On January 3, then, good fairy Verena drew three winners out of of the 24 respondents:
Member Harald Ecker West is delighted to make his wife Elke and daughter Annika divers in 2011 with a SUBEX holiday. Actually, the vacation plans for this year were different. By winning, however, the wishes of the family have spontaneously "moved" back to El Quseir ... Shortly after the new site was uploaded, Harald pointed out that the link to El Quseir Charter did not work. Thank you and congratulations!
It’s lovely, too, that Goldmember Beate Seiler, who loves the underwater world, and especially the snails of the El Quadim Bay as a photographer, was pulled by Verena as the third winner. In her e-mail, Beate expressed that some of the selected photos were in need of improvement. Since the tip in July 2010, we have tripled the number of images in our galleries, and doubled the number in the texts. We also thank Beate for the comment and her own really well done pictures. Congratulations!The highest accolade for SUBEX Red Sea
As part of the TOURISM ENRICHES (UNWTO) programme launched by the United Nations, “World Tourism Day 2006” was celebrated on 27th September.
This important event in tourism was an occasion for the Prime Minister of Egypt, H.E. Dr. Ahmed Nazif to invite selected companies and public figures - the so-called crème de la crème of tourism – to attend.
Thus on the evening of the 27thSeptember 2006 in Cairo, 45 companies were honoured by His Excellency Minister of Tourism Zoheir Garranah with the “Award of Excellence”, in recognition of their great contributions to tourism in Egypt .
Alongside tourist professionals such as TRAVCO, Hotel Marriott and Salem Hussein as the owner of the Jolie Ville MÖVENPICK, Johann Vifian, SUBEX’s managing director and partner accepted this special award on behalf of the SUBEX Diving Centre in El Quseir. A worthy recognition of the company’s great commitment and dedication to maintaining and protecting coral reefs, as well of its major progress in boosting diving tourism at the Red Sea.
