In a three company collaboration between dotMobi, the company responsible for the .mobi mobile domain names, web designers Fortune Cookie and the World Group. The three companies have joined forces and used their specific strencths to create the company WorldMobi Ltd.
The service combines the web savvy of Fortune Cookie, the travel industry know-how of the World Group and the technical support of dotMobi to create over 600 city guides to destinations around the world- all available on your mobile device.
WorldMobi ltd managing director David Ryder says, “These 600-plus sites contain simple data, typically with lists of hotels, restaurants, bars and useful other information. World Mobi is working with major cities, countries and businesses to provide an in-depth mobile experience.
“We are also working with tourist boards and other contributors such as hotels, restaurants, airlines and car rental companies to ensure that their mobile web sites meet the needs of visitors. Additionally, most .com city name web sites do not have data supported by the city’s tourist board.
World Mobi is making sure this is not the case with .mobi names. To that end, World Mobi will work the tourists boards to ensure that all content on their relevant city.mobi site reflects the relevant tourist board. Any tourist board who is interested can contact World Mobi directly for further information on ensuring its city is added to World Mobi’s global program of travel and tourist promotion.”
