ClockLink countdown to your tourist event
![]()
Now here is a neat web tool you can embed into your site, to add site revisit potential from tourists.
Clocklink is a 24-hour countdown (or countup) clock. It can be used to show how much time is left before your renowned fireworks display, before the rock concert tickets go on sale, before the time the cruise ship sets sail, before your race begins, the number of days since that great trip to Scotland, etc..
You can advertise with ClockLink.com and create a custom clock for your organisation. The Clocklink gallery shows clocks that are compact, highly-configurable, and attractive.
Clocklink clocks were displayed 9.7 million times in the last 24 hours. The “most displayed clock of the day” was New Zealand’s 5001-blue (450,337 displays).
Roger A. Brooks Rule 10 “The 365 and 24/7” states that ‘Kiosks never sleep.’ The primary objective of a visitor information centre, writes Brooks, is to … well… provide information of course. But it must do so ALL the time, even when the centre is not occupied. Leave information visible to the tourist — at tourist information centres and on websites.
