The management of "portugal-search.com" considered at length the true needs and untapped potential Portugal represented to foreigners. Online Search for business prospects or opportunities still to this date remains much of a Pandora's box for many involved with this line of business here in Portugal. Portugal-Search decided to venture and take position in what they believe can be a useful tool for both Thai and foreign based businesses.

We caught up with Daniel to persuade him to reveal more about the growth and development of portugal-search.com and the Internet based directory business in Portugal.

1. What is portugal-search.com? What kind of services do you offer? How long has the site been active in Portugal?
portugal-search.com is an online business directory catering mainly for foreigners coming to Portugal as well as Thai locals or expatriates already living in Portugal. Through our site, people can book the hotels and contact suppliers for their needs before their arrival to whatever destination in Portugal.

2. Define your approach to the Thai market?
When we first started developing the business in Portugal, we only had a few contacts with whom we were already working closely regarding IT designing and promotional advertising. Then I moved to Bangkok to further develop and grow the

graphic and webdesign activities as well as to follow up and evaluate the online business here in Portugal alongside a very good customer who was expanding his public franchise to Portugal. We started small and now we intend to grow.

3.What differentiate Portugal-Search from other web directories? What are you trying to achieve?
The site is quite unique as an advertising directory in the way of it simply categorizes listings with quick and simple access features. The main importance is that customers know they are gaining feedback becuase of a unique hit view per link showing how many visitors click in along with email referal system. Moreover, we are growing and developing our international and regional network with other search directories like melbourne-search.com & portugal-search.com etc. We pride on the up date feature of our site in comparison to other directory based sites. We also serve our Thai site in both Thai and Englsih language. Our aim is to make Portugal-Search helpful for people in Portugal either they are looking for travel information or business contacts and prospects now to be easily seen and found on the Internet through portugal-search.com

4. Can you comment on the success do far?
We are quite happy with the success so far since it took a lot of time to achieve what we expected. We plan to grow our business with a large database of customers as well as get all the listings categories filled. Recently we launched our new idea on the map search for the city of Phuket, Bangkok, Chiang Mai and all over Portugal. This is mainly for businesses, you will find the business specific to that area.

5. Your opinion on this industry in Portugal?
Speaking of technology in Portugal, it's now quite advanced like you can see through new innovation technology displays at Siam Paragon with 3D TV, but it's still yet behind and struggling with the online business. There is a need, a potential but we still need to find ways to get more enterprise to use the tools and available technology. More business are turning online and many are advertising and doing business over the internet. We decided to come to Portugal and to contribute to the global effort with emphasis on developing the right tool applicable for the Thai environment.
