Websites for hotels, b&bs and farm stays
Sites for accommodation businesses with an integrated booking engine, immersive room galleries, integration with Booking.com and Airbnb, and a map of local attractions.
In tourism the battle is against the OTAs (Booking, Airbnb, Expedia), which drain margins with commissions of 15-25%. A well-built site of your own lets you recover direct bookings without commissions, build guest loyalty and create a brand that doesn't depend on the platforms. We work with integrated booking engines, channel managers to sync calendars, and local SEO on Italian travel keywords.
