Online Travel Agency Fails
9/15/09 | FunnyFailPictures.com
I spotted this funny picture today when I visited a travel agency website, this fail is not easy to notice because its not in the English section of the site, but in the Portuguese one. So, to see it you need to click the Portuguese flag at the top of the site, its the little green and red flag.
Now you are seeing the page for the Portuguese travels and you can see that the same best travel deals area ("our best deals) is still there in the middle of the page, but it is now showing best deals for the Portuguese travelers, and here is where the funny fail picture is and where the fun begins!
It is offering cheap rooms in New York, it says "New York – Rooms from 40€". The fail is in the name of the city, "New" in Portuguese (and in this case) is "Nova", but they got it wrong and it actually says "Nuova". I think the guys who did this probably weren't sure of it, so they decided to use the Italian word, or mix the Spanish translation to "New" ("Nueva") with the Portuguese one ("Nova"), and they came out with this "Nuova" thing for their Portuguese travel offers page.
Destinia, by the way, looks pretty good as an online travel agency. They offer a lot of special offers, hotels, cheap flights, apartments, car rentals, and they make it pretty easy to visitors to find hotels no matter what their travel destiny is.
Just write the name of the destination you want, click one of the many links on the page, or choose from their best sellers. Some of them are: Morocco, with rooms from 18 €, Egypt (rooms from 22 €), Czech Republic (31 €), United Kingdom (42 €), France (44 €), United States (46 €), and more. Check them all out at: Europe Hotels.
