Reserve123 just introduced TourMillion.com, an innovative advertising opportunity dedicated to the tour and travel industry. This project was created during the final weeks of July, just two months after Alcatraz Media and Reserve123 announced their 1,000,000th reservation booking.

The Tour Million was setup to sell advertising real estate to all types of businesses within the travel industry. The goal of the new website is to create a sense of community in the travel space, generate buzz for tour suppliers and travel advertisers, and hopefully extend the busy season for travel through increased exposure and social networking. This is the first tour and travel related million-pixel site in the world.

Reserve123 will be promoting TourMillion.com through an extensive network of suppliers, customers, and social media channels. The traffic anticipated is substantial, and many people will click to view the sites of advertised travel companies on the grid. Prior to the official launch, TourMillion.com has already received over 1,000 visitors from 43 countries around the globe. In addition, Reserve123’s current network of websites generate over one million unique visits per month. When asked about the objective of The Tour Million, CEO Ryan Windsor stated, “I feel as though this site has already proven itself to be a huge success. Not only has it generated a great deal of traffic in the first few days, but it has also opened up the lines of communication between our company and many other travel businesses.”

Savvy advertisers are getting their ad real estate early because once the spaces are purchased, they are gone forever. There are no subscription fees or ongoing expenses. This is a one-time purchase of real estate; allowing travel companies to upload their photo or logo, create a business description that displays when visitors roll over the company’s pixels, and link directly to their own company’s website.

Companies can reserve pixels on the Tour Million grid in increments of 10×10 pixel squares – 100 pixels. Each square is priced at $50 USD, which breaks down to just fifty cents per pixel. Once pixels are purchased, they are reserved for the lifetime of the site. TourMillion.com will remain online for at least three years. When the page sells out, an additional two years will add to the life of the site making it at least five years total.

TourMillion.com, a social media and travel site operated by Reserve 123 has announced that it will be donating a percentage of all site revenue to Hawaii Foodbank. “We felt that it was important to give back to a community that is such an integral market in the tourism industry. Hawaii Foodbank is a great organization that is doing incredible things for those in need in the state of Hawaii,” says The Tour Million’s founder Ryan Windsor.

The website recently launched and has already filled over 15% of the available ad space on its one million pixel site in a matter of weeks. Advertisers on The Tour Million site can feel good about their purchase, knowing that a portion of their advertising investment will be used to support a good cause.

The hunger statistics in Hawaii are startling. According to Hunger in America 2010, over 14% (up 39% from 2006) of Hawaii’s population is receiving emergency food assistance from the Hawaii Foodbank’s network and this number is only growing higher as the economy worsens. Hawaii Foodbank is considered to be one of Hawaii’s most prominent charities and has been referred to as Hawaii’s number one charity by Hawaii Business Magazine. In July, they distributed 930,439 pounds of food throughout the state of Hawaii, and 95% of the funds they raise are used to support programs to feed the hungry.
