This is our destination extranet. Just like dms-direct this gives you access to a whole package of online tools (which of course can be accessed from any machine through a browser).

So, like your providers, you can access all the performance indicators for your destination as a whole, your websites, kiosks, TICs, agencies and individual providers (and you can download into Excel so you can create your own reports). There are different levels of access that allow you to see varying amounts of information - so you can give your TIC managers access to their own reports but not to the overall destination.

You can use the online communications at visitor-centre.net for networking with other clients (please - destinations have got so much to gain from working together as discussions at our Face to Face Forums constantly reveal).

The other purpose of visitor-centre.net, and the main subject of our 2003 development (yes, we do think that far ahead), is to create more online tools - searching, viewing, booking - for TICs and destinations. This will provide a window on not only data from the newmedia clients, but on all the data that comes out of EnglandNet and any other database that destinations collectively decide they want access to. This means that areas working together don't have to share data in the traditional sense - ie through installed software. Now they can do it via an extranet, particularly useful for those areas that don't have a DMS and can't justify buying one, and for TICs within an area where a DMS already exists but they don't have access to it.
