BBC URL http://www.bbc.co.uk/travel/ now says "The BBC Travel website
is no longer available".

If they really were spending £15m on that, they were getting very poor
value for money.


you seem to have missed

"as part of a plan to help save £15m"


Sorry, spin is it? 100k will be saved by ditching this site and the
remaining 14.9m by banning vintage wine from the subsidised executive
canteen.


presumably the rest come from closing other web services

like the proposal to close BBC Food - oh dear!

More realistically

what benefit does the BBC gain from translating their news into 30 different
languages?
