New York, New York, July 3 2007 — It is sometimes hard to remember the days when a travel guide or travel agent was a prerequisite to properly planning a vacation. Year after year online planning tools become more innovative and now creating an itinerary for a NYC vacation couldn’t be easier.
Online planning tools at www.skyride.com are time saving and cost effective. From this New York attraction’s website, visitors may not only purchase tickets for a unique NYC tour
and print them immediately, but can virtually plan all of their NYC sightseeing.
The NY SKYRIDE website features discounted online ticket purchase as well as the ability to purchase up to eight different NYC sightseeing packages well below box office retail rates. A simulated tour of the city enjoyed from the comfort of a theater seat synchronized to the movements on the IMAX® screen, is a natural way to start a NYC tour but most visitors will want to follow up with visits to the real NYC attractions. From the Empire State Building Combo Pass to the New York Pass with free entry to up to 40 different attractions in NYC, from cruise to helicopter packages, www.skyride.com allows visitors to tailor their time in a time- and money-saving way.
An innovative introduction to the city, www.skyride.com features a Google Earth Tour. The engaging online tour uses 3-D modeling with 3-D renderings of major New York attractions from the Coney Island Cyclone to the Statue of Liberty in order to give visitors an introduction to the city from above.
Additionally, the NY SKYRIDE site features comprehensive group NYC tour information including rates, FAQs and a DirectAccess program which allows groups to go to the front of the Empire State Building line when they have purchased combo tickets online.
Yet another way NY SKYRIDE is using online tools to connect with its customers is sponsoring an online photo contest. This will allow patrons to share their favorite New York photos that they believe captures the essence of NYC, with the best photo winning a 30GB i-Pod. Photos can be submitted at www.skyride.com/photocontest.html.
One quick visit to a NYC attraction’s website and visitors will have received a fun introduction to the city, purchased all of their tour tickets, and virtually outlined their stay. All that’s needed then is a place to rest when the busy days are done.
