Recent News and Press Releases

Americans top the list
With over 400 destinations and 1200 guide variations, Fastcheck reaches travelers in over 160 countries. Increased demand has been observed in almost every market. Americans do, however, stand out as the most active users and account for a fifth of all downloads. At present, the U.S. demand for Southern Europe is particularly strong, and Italy has emerged as the most popular destination country for the summer.

U.S. cities in high demand
Between the U.S. cities, New York (1), Los Angeles (2) and Miami (3) have become the three most popular cities. Other destination guides that are in high demand this year are Chicago (4), Las Vegas (5), Honolulu (6), Washington D.C. (7), Boston (8), San Francisco (9), and Atlanta (10).

London - the most downloaded city
Findings also show that the world's five most popular travel guides all feature European cities. As expected, London - the most visited city in the world - ranks the highest (also in the U.S.), followed by Barcelona, Paris, Rome, and Berlin. As the popular city guides are updated more often, they are also downloaded more frequently. Says Magnus Aideborn: "People notice that they get the most up-to-date travel information on Internet, which is a huge advantage and another reason why we expect the online guides to continue to increase in popularity."
