After looking at the UNESCAP website here: http://www.unescap.org/ttdw/common/tis/ah/tourism%20attractions.asp"Tourism Attractions along the Asian Highway" we ask that you pay attention to the recommendation saying "These countries could join together in promoting tourism under a common tourism banner."
For now we will use the website name http://www.AsianHighwayNetwork.com similar to how they have done, by listing the different websites and countries. We want YOU to submit a proposed "common tourism banner" or slogan that would be acceptable to all Asian Highway Network locations and users.
This idea suggests that when one location advertises the AsianHighwayNetwork.com, all participating locations will benefit.
Additionally, a website is now available at http://www.facebook.com/AsianHighwayNetwork which should be developed to realize its full potential. Possibly to gain sponsor support and locate other stakeholders.
Attention: What this e-commerce website does is collect FREE information about our members, who join FREE.
Then we try to sell his "contact-us" information that he provided to us FREE, and we sell it for US$1.
The member has a dashboard to adjust his online calendar, to show his schedule. WE charge tourists $1 to make an appointment, and he receives the "contact-us" information about each member in his shopping cart. From there, you contact our member and make ANY KIND of deals you like, we have nothing else to do.
We require each FREE member post a promotional video about what he will do for the tourists, and that goes into making people want to pay us $1 to buy this member's data from us. Very 1-2-3 EZ ecommerce.
If you look at http://www.1.asianhighway26.com you will see the plan is to do this website all over Asia in 32 countries. Anyone living along the Asian Highway Network road in his country is invited to try earning tourism $$ by posting his video offer and letting US promote the website.
Our Demo is AsianHighway26.com and all other countries will be clones, with images for his country. There is a fee to webmaster and operate one of the websites in your country, and you pay us 10% of what your website earns.
All of this is the entire 1-2-3 EZ SIMPLE concept, so now you should go to the index at asianhighway26.com:
In image #1 select ENTERTAINMENT, image #2 begin at top location and end at bottom location.
Image #3 you see 10 (demo) profiles of members who will ENTERTAIN you.
Click the #3 image and get info about the members.
Assistance is required to begin developing franchise agreements acceptable to all concerned, to establish and clarify rights, limitations and obligations of the parties involved. The link above is one of many examples, highlighting the topics and subject matters to be included.
Imagine when all of these domains have websites revolving around their local citizens who may have used the video camera in his/her mobile phone, are available for tourists to review. As citizens create and upload interesting videos showing how tourists gain by employing that citizen to do whatever his/her video promotes, the proposed series of television shows will have much to share with the viewers. As Tourism Officials begin promoting the AsianHighwayNetwork, then asking viewers to click a flag, this project becomes within a few short years a major player in Asian Tourism.
I foresee and predict there will be a time when different locations will sponsor and support Asian Highway Network TV Shows focused upon their locations. There are already lots of travel related shows on cable television and many of those TV networks replay or rerun shows. This indicates that there is room for fresh material. Viewers will be taught that the show often uses their one minute or less promo video "as is", to show offerings in the various categories of Tourism. Perhaps a known personality is the show Host. Developing a common opening theme then clicking onto your country then selecting a Category to focus upon is a good beginning.
It is hoped that in the spirit of Public Private Partnerships, this forum and the contributors to it, will help insure the success of everyone involved. Register for an account now, and join the discussions.

BENEFITS TO TOURISM OFFICES: Various Tourism officials partially responsible for marketing would share the revenue generated say 60% - 75% to them, delivered monthly.
WHAT IF: Adding code to the websites so that some Tourist who does not find someone providing the activities desired, can easily register and then post a "Help Wanted" type listing for a fee. They upload their video which describes their ideal situation that anyone online may reply to. A promotional fee is collected online to guarantee the video is in the correct category, contains contact information and remains available for say, 14 - 30 days. Site administrators continue to gain income because to obtain via e-mail contact data of this Tourism advertiser, this prospective service provider is required to pay the normal online fee.
