| In 2009 Planeta.com
is making a major revision to the award-winning Mexico
coverage.
"We are adding a number of links to Web
2.0 channels on the city and state guides," said Planeta.com
director Ron Mader. "In addition we are assisting local
tour operators, language schools, indigenous artesanos and government
officials."
Mader pointed to the series of Internet Workshops for market
venders and artisans in Oaxaca City as an example of how Web
2.0 training can be developed.
Additions to the Mexico
features on Planeta.com include links to YouTube videos,
Flickr photo galleries and recommended Facebook groups and Twitter
accounts.
"As a 15-year-old website, we have a foot solidly in the
realm of Web 1.0 and we're testing the waters of Web 2.0, which
in our estimation is the best way to connect locals and visitors
online," Mader added.

This year Mexico hosts the World

travelers. Highlights include indigenous tourism options throughout
the country.
