Now reach out, share your experience and find an internet cafe!

Everybody's Hotel Directory is today pleased to announce the launch of two new features which it is hoped will make the site even more useful and popular.

The "Your Experience" option aims to allow site users to help build a log of either information relating to their experience whilst visiting or staying at any of the hotels listed in the directory, or any other information and tips which they think may be of benefit to fellow travellers. This is thought to be yet another new departure for a resource aimed primarily at people with disabilities, their friends and families travelling in/to the UK - until now all known UK disability-friendly travel information sources have been provided on an as-is basis, with no real opportunity for interaction from users. Contributions will be moderated to ensure objectivity and the log files updated periodically giving site users increased reason for wanting to visit the site on an occasional basis and not just when they are looking for a suitable hotel. The editorial aim however is generally NOT to name and shame.

The site now also boasts a listing of disability-friendly UK internet cafe's which is primarily aimed at foreign visitors who may want to use the internet whilst travelling to keep in touch with friends and family at home. Admittedly, this listing is currently a bit small but it is hoped that other suitable entrants will get in touch to request that they be listed - subject to assurances being given regarding disability-friendliness.

These features are introduced in the same week that the site's monthly visitor statistics revealed that the directory is now receiving around 20,000 hits a month, interest coming not just from within the UK, but a truly international audience including the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Spain and Saudi Arabia.
