Travelling the world without leaving London
November 18th, 2008
Sinead travels the world in four days and lives to tell all:
The world flocked in its droves to Excel, East London for the annual World Travel Market. Traveling to the conference provided the biggest challenge for its visitors, with packed trains and overcrowded platforms.
Oban Multilingual had a stand in the Global Village for Online Travel and Technology. We met with people from around the world from as far as Mauritius, Israel, The US and India. Visitors to our stand represented travel operators, travel agents, hotel chains to independent hoteliers, who all expressed an interest to maximise their website traffic and explore new and exciting markets.
Oban were astounded that most companies in the travel industry still only have an English website, despite 900 million people not speaking English on the web and 79 percent searching in their own language first.

We received comments like “amazing”, “interesting” and “unique service”. And now we have a large box full of hot leads to follow up.
Our MD, Greig Holbrook presented a successful workshop on Global SEO to a packed audience of large and exciting companies all planning to widen their marketing reach.
Cheers! Sinead
