Discover Global Bookings is kick-starting the British summer holiday season by giving away 20 online booking systems to independent hospitality providers in the UK. The systems, which retail for £195 normally, enable accommodation providers to promote their properties and take instant bookings through a “Book Now” button on their own website.
Introduced to the UK by Discover Global Bookings to specifically help independent hospitality providers market their properties to a worldwide audience, the platform, known as DIEGO, empowers owners of independent hotels, guesthouses and inns to compete with branded chains that have held the upper hand in the online holiday bookings market until now. In addition to the “Book Now” button DIEGO also enables independent accommodation businesses the opportunity to promote and take room bookings from over 5,000 travel websites, 500,000 worldwide travel agents and many more millions of individuals seeking traditional accommodation for their British holiday this summer.
Hospitality businesses installing the Discover Global Bookings platform will have full control over room rates charged. Once the system has been installed, full training is provided to hospitality business proprietors and managers so that any information changes can be made easily and instantaneously, enabling updates to inventory and pricing to be viewed immediately by travel agents and holidaymakers across the world.
By working with Discover Global Bookings independent hospitality businesses across Britain can increase turnover and profits by reaching out into the global online marketplace for minimal cost and effort. It’s an online revolution for accommodation providers that have struggled to capture online bookings previously.
Andrew Grieve, Managing Director of Discover Global Bookings, commented: “For far too long, traditional British hospitality has played second fiddle to the well-known brands who dominate the online accommodation market.
“Tourists and tourism businesses have been losing out badly as accommodation choices have been very limited online until now. Discover Global Bookings enables independent accommodation businesses to promote traditional hospitality to a world market eager to discover the delights Britain has to offer to holidaymakers.”
