The Tourism Website of the Year
Winner: www.liverpoolphil.com - Royal Liverpool Philharmonic.
The multi-functional site was re-launched in October 2006 to make it easier to find out about events through improved information architecture, and is aimed at a wide audience from tourists to regular visitors. Customers can now see the concert view from their seat, listen to and watch audio and video clips, receive live help as well as purchase memberships, CDs and digital downloads on the site. Innovative marketing tactics have helped to drive more visitors to the site and since its launch, online sales have nearly doubled and now account for 34% of all ticket sales.
