Everything you need to get more direct bookings.
Direct Bookings
Let's make booking direct the new normal
It’s more important than ever to encourage travellers to travel responsibly by booking direct.
This helps to keep money within the local communities they visit. It also lets businesses invest more in providing a great service, rather than paying high commission fees to online booking platforms.
No Commission Fees
You won't pay commission on bookings through The Guide.
