Galveston.com made its debut in the fall of 1994. It was the early days of the internet, and the site was simple, very small, and graphically cryptic. But it was the dawn of a new era regarding Galveston Island tourism.

Galveston.com owners, Lee Roane and Jim Cordell, understood that harnessing the web's power for destination promotion - Galveston in particular - could not only introduce the Island to an entirely new audience, but also could deliver information in a way that simply wasn't possible via a standard color brochure.

That was 1994.

Since then, Galveston.com & Company, Inc. has evolved into an multi-faceted corporation, offering website visitors and local businesses a staggering list of innovations that are quite unique in the industry, and were a mere dream way back then. Galveston.com is now home to literally hundreds of pages of Island information, and features a tantalizing array of features including online reservations, audio and video podcasting, rss feeds, itinerary builders, and much more.

The power behind Galveston.com is the state-the-art DestinationNext™ tourism portal module, also a product of the programming team at Galveston.com & Company. Vast in its abilities and second-to-none in its scope, DestinationNext™ is a multi-tiered software bundle - used either as a whole, or independently - that encompasses tourism portal implementation and management, website advertising and traffic monitoring, online cruise reservations, online lodging reservations, and online parking and airport transportation reservations - all in one easy-to-administer, easy-to-incorporate tourism solution.
