The Internet as a source of world-wide
reservations for guesthouses and inns has taken off: true, European travelers
have only just caught the habit of booking "on-line", but in North America,
where the World Wide Web has been in active use for several more years
than here, a vast number of bed and breakfast owners are now achieving
more than half of their total sales and capturing over 80% of their new
clients via the Internet.
Launched just before Christmas 1999 by SBD Travel Services, an "on-line" guesthouse reservations specialist since 1995, Bed-Breakfast-UK.com was the first Internet Directory dedicated exclusively to the promotion of British guesthouses and inns without any diversions, such as flashing advertisements or links to irrelevant services.
DURING THE EXTENDED TEST MARKET PERIOD SINCE ITS LAUNCH, BBUK HAS GENERATED DOZENS OF RESERVATIONS FOR EACH OF ITS NEW SUBSCRIBERS FOR THE VERY MODEST INTRODUCTORY SUBSCRIPTION FOR THE FIRST YEAR IS £35
- approximately the income from a one night booking for a whole year's publicity!
