   The web site www.1premier.ru, which last year belonged to infamous Premier Travel Service, that left the market in autumn 2005, seems to have a new life. Thus, the web site informs its ‘guests’: we are the First Travel Agency organized by professionals in tourism. The experience of our agents guarantees our clients a high level quality of services provided’.
   The company positions itself as a tour operator, which specialize in Tunisia, the UAE and other beach destinations. However, the web site lacks any contact information - instead of phone numbers and e-mail addresses the site offers to write a message to the company. But the message system does not work either: the BANKO correspondent attempted to send questions to the company representatives but every time the “error” sign appeared.
   The BANKO correspondent found out that the domain was registered at the end of February by the name of Anton Soloviev, whose contact phones have St. Petersburg code. However, the correspondent’s attempt to contact Soloviev by these numbers failed.    Meanwhile, it appeared possible to talk to Olga Ribina w
ho was Executive Director of Premier Travel Service: ‘I was surprised when I knew about that web site. The ‘old’ Premier is not involved. Probably, somebody simply decided to use a vacant domain. I met Albert Potapov before the MITT exhibition but he did not say anything about possible rebirth of Premier’.
