In another project, I’ve searched for ways to tap into those incredible photos already published on the internet and that can be re-used without infringing any licensing terms- and, yes, solutions exists.

In times of general crisis, it is expected that most potential tourists will adopt the “staycation strategy” (which is staying at home on holiday in a bid to save money),
On the other hand, knowing that most of DMO like the Office [...]
Reading one of the many stories behind the coming out of the second Madagascar cartoon movie [fr] I can’t help but question myself about what Madagascar is really expecting from all those exposures. Is it only about branding and expecting that someone will decide to come, or can we turn it into a more target-oriented [...]
This post will not make most of people in the ISP business happy, but let’s face it: for a tourism business (whose target customer is abroad), hosting his website in Madagascar is not the best choice for providing the best web experience to its users. Let’s make it clear: I am talking about hosting the [...]
ok, this is not a scoop, neither is it an unexpected news … November 7th, the second of a series for the Madagascar movie (escape 2 africa) will be in theater … and it already begins to make a buzz on the internet.
