San Francisco, Calif (PRWEB) February 09, 2012
Viator, Inc., the leading resource for more than 9,000 tours and activities in 800-plus destinations in more than 150 countries, today announced the launch of three new Viator mobile sites for European travelers: French (fr.m.viator.com), German (de.m.viator.com) and Spanish (es.m.viator.com). These local-language mobile sites complement Viator?s French, German and Spanish translated websites, and are the latest additions to Viator?s selection of resources for travelers on-the-go, which includes the Viator Tours and Activities for iPhone and iPod touch, the Viator Ultimate Experience Guide for iPad, the flagship Viator mobile site (m.viator.com), and Viator?s Japanese-language mobile website (jp.m.viator.com).
“As we continue to expand our presence globally, it is important for us to make our product accessible and available to travelers and partners across multiple languages and platforms,” said Ms. Barrie Seidenberg, president and CEO of Viator, Inc. “Bookings on our French, German and Spanish sites have grown steadily in the past 12 months despite the challenging global economic climate. We anticipate these same savvy travelers will find value in accessing high-quality travel experiences at the best prices via their mobile devices, both in advance of travel and while in destination.”
The three new mobile sites are fully optimized for the iPhone and all Smartphone devices, providing French, German and Spanish-speaking travelers access to Viator?s vast tour and activity portfolio where they can conduct research, read traveler reviews, and book activities in their preferred language. All tours are presented and sold in Euros. Viator?s multi-language content system ensures the translated information is properly published and fully synchronized across the new local-language platforms. This technology, along with consistent Viator branding, will ensure a smooth customer experience for the French, German and Spanish-speaking travelers hoping to plan the perfect trip, right from the palm of their hand.

For more than seven decades, the American government has acted to provide housing for the poor. In America’s Trillion-Dollar Housing Mistake, Howard Husock explains how, as with so many anti-poverty efforts, low-income housing programs have harmed those they were meant to help while causing grave collateral damage to cities and their citizens. Public housing projects, Mr. Husock writes, are only the best-known housing policy mistakes. His book explains how a long list of lesser-known efforts—including housing vouchers, community development corporations, the low-income housing tax credit, and the Community Reinvestment Act—are just as pernicious, working in concert to undermine sound neighborhoods and perpetuate a dependent underclass. He exposes the false premises underlying publicly subsidized housing, above all the belief that the private housing market inevitably fails the poor. Exploring the link between private housing markets and individual self-improvement, he shows how new and expensive public efforts are merely old wine in new bottles. Instead he argues for the deep but unappreciated importance to American society of economically diverse urban neighborhoods, and he demonstrates the historic and continuing importance of privately built “affordable” housing, from the brownstones of Brooklyn to the bungalows of Oakland and, in the present day, houses built through Habitat for Humanity. Bearing witness in the tradition of Jane Jacobs, Mr. Husock describes and laments the deadening effects of public and subsidized housing on the economies and vitality of American cities.
