What is an RSS feed?
RSS feeds are an easy way to stay updated with the content of a website. The feeds let you see when a website has added new content. You can then access the specific content of your choice on the website directly from the feed.
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. The RSS feed is an XML file designed to be read by a computer, generally using dedicated feed reading software or an online reader which can be accessed from within your web browser.
By adding the address (URL) of any of our web feeds to your reader, you will then be subscribed to our feed and it will display the most recently added offers, news or hotels in the format of your reader. Each item will feature a headline along with a short sypnosis, a selection of pictures (where appropriate) and a link to the rest of the content.
Why should I use RSS?
By using RSS feeds you can stay in touch with different sources of news, information and interest without having to regularly check the websites for new content. Rather than surf the many sites you would normally read and check for regular updates, you can see what is new on each site in one place and navigate only to the content that is of interest to you.
Think of it as your own personal digital newspaper regrouping only information you are interested in and showing you the latest news and content all the time.
