Your Customers Want To Book Online
An astounding 86% of holidaymakers in Britain booked their trips online in 2019 according to the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA). And with the rise of the staycation in 2020 and 2021 UK destinations with a strong online presence are reaping the benefits. To make the most of the internet’s potential, glamping site owners need:
- An attractive website designed to show all the site’s features.
- An online booking system.
- An easy to edit online calendar.
- Integration with other popular booking sites.
Your potential customers are researching their holiday options on the internet and if you want them to consider your glamping site, the first thing you need is a website that they can easily find. Ideally, a website designed specifically for glamping businesses, so that you know it has all the information that your future visitors need.
As well as thinking about the details you need to explain, you’ll want to ensure you have beautiful images that present the features of your site in the best light. While glamping is increasing in popularity the competition is getting fiercer, so attractive design and photography are a must.
To make it as easy as possible to receive bookings, your website will need a robust online system, as customers expect the booking process to be quick, simple and seamless. The ability to edit the calendar yourself so that you can update pricing and availability and block off necessary dates is something that is essential to be built in.
Finally, it is a huge advantage to your business if your site can be found on the most used holiday booking sites – AirBnB and Booking.com. Appearing on these powerhouse websites is highly recommended if you want bookings to take off quickly.
