Scandinavian Tellus to invest in Polish tourism sector

Tellus, the biggest Scandinavian IT company from the tourism sector, is to make its debut on the Polish market. It will be offering a computer system that facilitates the operation of the local, regional, national, and world network offering information on tourism. Such a system is already operating in Norway, Sweden, and Canada. In every city which decides to buy the system, a special terminal is installed to provide all updated info on tourism and culture from all over the world. It is also possible to obtain Tellus information by telephone, e-mail, wireless application protocol (WAP), and interactive TV. Tellus estimates that just by launching its system the costs of tourism promotion drops by 30%. "Poland with its 40 million inhabitants, central location, and dynamically changing tourism market, is a perfect place for us to start operating on the continent," said one of the company's managers Michael Borge. Simultaneously, the company is also entering the German market. (Gazeta Wyborcza, page 22)
