This past weekend, Great Cottages participated in Rural Routes, a trade show in Calgary marketed by the Calgary Exhibition and Stampede and Travel Alberta. Visitors to the show had the opportunity to view first hand the newly launched version of the Great Cottages site. The comments were very positive.

They promoted the owner listings they have from 12 rural Alberta locations. Just a few were: EM TE TOWN at Alder Flats, The Prairie Steam Railway at Stettler, Woodale Inn in Rimbey, Hidden Springs Bed and Breakfast in Winfield, a remote cabin at Moose Lake and Deer Valley B & B, a country Bed and Breakfast in Sundre.

There are a number of new sections and links that will help the tourists in making their travel plans to Canada. For example, they have affiliate links to car rental agencies allowing visitors to pre-book their vehicle requirements from home. Each of the major tourism areas has information about the local area and a link to the local Chambers of Commerce.

Great Cottages is ranked by Alexa International in the top 5% of viewed sites. They market, advertise and promote their owners' properties. In the last 12 months, Great Cottages has been viewed by over 112,512 unique visitors from across Canada, 27 USA states and 61 countries. This targeted traffic continues to grow on a monthly basis.

Great Cottages plays a significant role in providing tourism information for visitors as well as a truly Canadian holiday experience. For more information, visit their website at: http://www.greatcottages.com/.
