Yell.com And The First Resort Partnership Takes Skiing Surfers To The Slopes – 7 December 2000

Yell.com, the destination site from the Yellow Pages Group, has announced a link with holiday agent, TheFirstResort. The deal sees the launch of a new Ski Holidays section on Yell.com, enabling users to plan, find and book the perfect skiing holiday.

The Yell.com Ski Holidays section incorporates content from TheFirstResort ski site (www.thefirstresort.com/ski) allowing Yell.com users to access everything from a chalet finder and resort guides to holiday searches and a first time skiing guide. The new Ski Holidays section is an exciting new development for the Yell.com Travel section, which already offers a vast range of services for holidays and travel, including a global weather forecaster, country and city travel guide.

Nick Harknett, General Manager of Yell.com, said, "Our new Skiing Holidays section complements the existing travel services on Yell.com. We are continually striving to offer a wider range of leisure services, including travel, motoring and eating out and UK Breaks. Our partnership with TheFirstResort will offer first-rate advice and information to all Yell.com users looking for the perfect skiing holiday this season."

Mathew Prior, managing director of TheFirstResort, said, "We are pleased to offer our resources to Yell.com customers enabling them to research and book their skiing holidays with ease. Yell.com is an ideal link to help us expand our services to a wider audience allowing more people to access the FirstResort’s expertise.

"TheFirstResort has the one of the most comprehensive online ski sites on the web. The wealth of information and its great range of holidays should be of benefit to Yell.com customers as they access TheFirstResort site.", he added.
