Dear Mr. Lai,
I am a student of West Island School, and I am wishing for some help on my oncoming project of a tourism based website for Hong Kong. I have been browsing through the HK tourism website and I have been very pleased with the amount of detail. I would like to know what information I may need to include on my website, and I would most likely be using Adobe Dreamweaver to build my website.
Sincerely,
Irwin Chan

Dear. Irwin,
I am glad you have an interest to promote HK tourism to international customers. I have recently been receiving e-mails like yours which consist of questions on making a website for tourism, and one thing I must ensure you must not do is copy text from other websites with copyright claims. You can most certainly be punished if you do so, and if you do want to use information from other sites, you must seek permission of the owner of that site. Putting information into your own words are fine, but they must be in your own words!
Adobe Dreamweaver is a very thorough and great software for building websites, but may be quite difficult to use, I suggest you looking for tutorials online foe help. The website must contain detailed information, such as accommodation, food, transportation. You should give enough information for tourists to easily get there way around and will be able to plan their journey from your website beforehand. That is the key of a tourism based website.
I suggest you starting off by making separate tabs for the information to go into, such as attractions, accommodation and many more. You may one to link to weather websites of HK and probably information on the HK currency for foreign travelers.
If you need more help, please inform me anytime!
Best Regards,
Mr. Lai Ting Fung
