1.         Introduction.

We will be visiting Australia in late March to boost the numbers of Hosts on www.australianhomestay.com 

Whilst some of our Hosts have received on line bookings we will not get to the level of success being achieved for our NZ Hosts on www.nzhomestay.co.nz , (42% of our NZ Hosts received bookings from 9 countries in February 2004), until more Hosts join www.australianhomestay.com  

Accordingly we will be making a special ‘one off setup fee’ offer to selected Hosts in Victoria and southern NSW during March 2004.

We are definitely heading in the right direction as can be seen from the above statistics. 

The internet exposure that we are already achieving is very promising and the addition of each new Host from this month’s promotion will see us getting closer to our target of 500 visitors a day. On Line bookings flow steadily at this level.

We will continue to market all of our individual Hosts, all of the Area Pages, Region Pages and the Web Site itself to as many search engines and directories as we can during this coming year.
