March 29, 2011How many days of bike rental do people take?
March 16, 2011Our software team have been improving some queries to our database, in order to obtain some useful data. Regarding the bike rental days (mean) for the St. James way, we obtained the following data:
Year 2008 -> 3.20
Year 2009 -> 3.58
Year 2010 -> 5.87
Year 2011 -> 7.33 (today data)
Analyzing this data, we can see that every year the number of bike rental days is larger, what means that every year, our customers make the “camino de Santiago” from farther places. Actually, the mean on 2010, indicates that our rental bikes have come from León to Santiago de Compostela. Also, the data for 2011 (until today) show, first, an increasing number of bike reservations, up to 30% compared to the past year (Xacobeo 2010), and that, added to the fact that Easter is placed a month later than the past year. All of this, together with the mean of bike rental days, that is, 7,33, what implies that (of course, and repeating again, this is a mean) our customers come from Burgos to Santiago de Compostela, more or less.
We only can say thank you for trust in us and in our St. James way bike rental service, where work the best team of professionals, such as in our garage of Monforte de Lemos, as in our shop-garage in Santiago de Compostela, as the people in the office at Ferrol.
Thank you so much.
New enhaced web interface, now with hotel bookings.
February 16, 2011Yesterday we proceeded with a few changes in our site, that we hope you like them
Firstly, we’ve added a hotel booking section, where you can just book your hotels anywhere in Spain or even the entire World. All the process is under the booking.com engine control, so their guarantee is assured. This option was added since it’s been requested by our customers with a high demand, so now you can sort out all your holidays here.
Tournride has also a lot of projects running, and so, we’ve decided to add a new investors section, where you can check and request information about how and why to invest in our company. We offer a different investment opportunity, based on a sustainable and ecological business, in areas like the active tourism and the public services.
We’ve also correct some bugs on the links to make the navigation even easier, specially on the languages control.
Tournride gets its first international appearance with Ryanair
August 5, 2010En el último tercio de este año Xacobeo, Tournride ha decidido completar su oferta de comunicación apareciendo en el número de agosto/septiembre de la revista de Ryanair. Esta campaña, que durará un mes, supondrá una promoción extra del servicio de alquiler de bicicletas para el Camino de Santiago y llegará a más de 7 millones de personas en todos los vuelos continentales de Ryanair. El objetivo es reforzar la imagen de la empresa gallega aliada con un gigante de las líneas aéreas como es la irlandesa Ryanair. Es la primera aparición de Tournride en una revista internacional, una empresa que sólo se publicita a través de Internet tanto en Google como en Facebook.
