Accom.Com.Au Pty Ltd is a privately owned
family company, based in Sydney
Australia.
The business runs a number of travel and
tourism based websites which have been
online for up to 5 years, attracting over
3,500,000 hits per month from up to 80,000
visitors located in over 90 countries
worldwide.
The
company was founded by Matt
Halloran,
who has over 16 years' involvement in the
Travel & Tourism industry in
Australia, working for companies such as
Eastwest Airlines, British Airways, Sabre
Pacific, Abacus Distribution Systems,
General Travel, and Novotel hotels.
Through this experience, combined with
Matt's creative flair for artwork and
website design, Accom.Com.Au is a company
with a thorough understanding of the
industry from a number of vantage
points.
Accom.Com.Au's
vision is about being more than just
another 
collection
of Australian Travel and Tourism websites.
The business model of the company allows a
great deal of flexibility in the way
Accom.Com.Au is able to approach its
products, taking each site beyond many of
the constraints of a standard online
travel sales environment.
As well
as the Accom.Com.Au website, we also
operate FrogandToad,
an online guide to Australia which has
been operating since 1999. In its current
format, Frogandtoad has been dubbed a site
without peer by many of those within
similar industry groups both in Australia
and internationally. Little wonder the
site constantly attracts visitors from
over 80 countries and generates up to 3.5
MILLION HITS A MONTH.
Then
again, what most people are not aware of,
is that we get around the same amount of
hits as do Australia's major national
sites including See Australia, major
national motorist sites such as the NRMA
and RACV, and the major national motel
sites such as Flag Choice (formerly Flag
Motels) and Best Western websites. That
makes the FrogandToad 
website
response amongst the TOP 10% OF WEBSITES
WORLDWIDE (source = trafficranking.com).
However,
it doesn't stop there. Both Accom.Com.Au
and FrogandToad have won numerous website
awards
for our Site Design, Ease of Use,
Creativity, Content, Educational Resource,
and for the sheer volume of Australian
Travel and Tourism information that we
have made available for our site visitors.
It
would be very easy for us to sit back,
relax and say that the site is a job well
done, yet we are still continuing to grow
and evolve. We have incorporated
Accom.Com.Au with some of the
best
accommodation, tour, activity, car hire
and flight deals
online.
We have developed a unique
Corporate
Travel
site, enabling frequent travellers easy
access to a range of flight, car, hotel
and tour deals at some of the worlds' best
destinations. And we are taking
FrogandToad
up a few notches to a whole new level of
Australian Destination Guide (due in
2006).
In
keeping with the philosophy of "being more
than just another travel website",
Accom.Com.Au and FrogandToad site visitors
are able to send free
e-cards
featuring stunning Australian landscape
photography to friends and family
worldwide. Visitors are also encouraged to
participate in Accom.Com.Au's
online
articles &
forums
to discuss issues dealing with Modern or
Indigenous Australian life, art, culture,
history, lifestyle and tourism.
Through
developing such a unique range and
combination of online products and
services, Accom.Com.Au's vision of being
more than just another static collection
of Australian Travel websites is being
fulfilled. The company's philosophy of
continuing to develop and maintain sites
that are comprehensive, fresh, user
friendly and visually appealing allows
Accom.Com.Au to maintain a truly unique
and flexible approach, to the benefit of
both its site visitors and advertising
partners.
By
investing a phenomenal amount of time and
energy in developing such a broad
foundation of online products and services
in a relatively short space of time, this
is one company that is well positioned for
a bright future. We hope you enjoy the
journey.
