For Travellers
The biggest advantage of BookAhead's service for potential holiday-makers is the ability to deal direct securely online with the owners and managers of tourism businesses. By avoiding the many additional channels involved in a typical holiday transaction, you can harness the true buying power of the World Wide Web. Rather than discussing your holiday with someone who may never have tried the accommodation, tour or hire vehicle you seek, you can receive the features and benefits of the holiday direct from the on-site operators of the product, using BookAhead.
For Tourism Operators
BookAhead evolved from our search for a reliable and cost-effective online booking engine for our tourism industry colleagues. The available options we found were either terribly complex and hard to maintain, poorly-programmed and full of problems, or prohibitively expensive with high commissions payable dramatically reducing the online yield available to tourism operators.
By designing a booking system using current technologies, and utilising the knowledge we have developed from a 22 year career in Australian tourism, and more than a decade in online travel, we were able to create a very effective alternative.
By offering this booking facility at a minimal cost to operators, and allowing tourism businesses to receive full yield (no commissions are payable) everybody wins. Guests and passengers can be offered the best deal, and tourism operators receive a fair price for their services and special offers. There is now a reason to work hard promoting your product and offers, tapping into a worldwide group of consumers seeking well-presented, well-priced holiday alternatives.
BookAhead is the 'glue' between holiday products and online consumers. If you have a tourism product to offer, sign up today and start enjoying the benefits.
