Booking Software Gibraltar

Booking Software Gibraltar

Gibraltar Tourism is a significant industry. Gibraltar is a popular stop for cruise ships and attracts day visitors from resorts in Spain. It was a surprise that 80% of companies who provide products or services do not have any automated online booking software or system.
The Rock is also a popular tourist attraction, particularly among British tourists and residents in the southern coast of Spain. It is also a popular shopping destination, and all goods and services are VAT free.

The Gibraltar Government state that economy grew in 2004/2005 by 7% to a GDP of £599,180,000. Based on statistics in the 2006 surveys, the Government statisticians estimate it has grown by 8.5% in 2005/6 and by 10.8% in 2006/7 and that the GDP is probably now around 730 million. Inflation was running at 2.6% in 2006 and predicted to be 2% to 3% in 2007. Speaking at the 2007 budget session, Peter Caruana, the Chief Minister said “The scale of Gibraltar’s economic success makes it one of the most affluent communities in the entire world.” Source wikipedia.org

Which Online Booking System?

Which Online Booking System?

Good question asked at our business meeting yesterday at San Roque. Which booking system or software would we recommend and was there any independent research that would back up our recommendation?

As the question started with “Which” I had a quick look at Which Magazine online and as I thought there has not been any reviews carried out so far by them. This is mainly a consumer magazine so I guess unlikely that they will carry out a “Which Review” in the future.
So to Google and here’s a summary of what I found;

“Saves alot of time and paperwork for our employees. It frees them up to do other things that need to be done during the season. I like it more than most of the employees around here, however I have worked with it more than they have by a long shot and I am sure after they have done it for a little longer they will love it as I do”.

“Great product, easy to use, affordable price and fantastic support. product is great today and the future looks even brighter!”

Info: Managing Partner, Christopher Creek Lodge U.S.A.

“Nice and easy to keep up with system”

Info: Manager, Willow Place Conference Center

“I would recommend this program to most people who are in the reservation business.”

“Highly recommend!”

“Awesome and great product ”

These people were all talking about a product we recommend as part of our internet marketing consultancy.

Kite Surfing and Booking Systems

Two of our booking system users have made the trip from Tarifa to Sotogrande today as we have a nice Levante.

They are both saying that without their systems they would never be able to go Kiting when they want to. After all the sport depends on the wind and what happens when the wind is here and you cannot leave your business just incase you miss that all important business call that means profit?
With an online reservation system you don’t need to be chained to your desk, telephone, cell phone or e-mails. Easy as that. Your choice….

Here’s a scary clip of what it can be like here in Sotogrande and this is nothing!.

Booking Systems, Financial Support or both?

Booking Systems, Financial Support or both?

Sotogrande Booking Software

What a day! started with a business meeting at Sotogrande Yacht Club at 9am where we set out with all good intentions of stating the case for business improvement. Be it a web site overhaul, rebuild or merely installing online booking software to enable businesses to interact with clients 24/7.

Where we ended up, I have to say, took me by total surprise. Whilst many business owners had taken sound business financial advice not one had taken proper personal finance advice.

What I heard next amazed me.

After that it was onto a major client meeting which due to a press embargo I cannt reveal just yet but watch this space.

Online Bookings Made Simple

Online Reservations

I was talking to some private property owners here in Alcaidesa today about making it simple for a client to book their properties during high and low seasons. During the high season prices are at a premium and during the low season it’s a battleground for available business.

The big mistake being made is on two fronts, 1. Being most of them did not have a web site and depended on a directory listing where at best they are a “me too” product hoping for an online reservation.
or
2. Those that had web sites had no idea how to use the local area and what’s going on to help them with their niche market.

To help them we developed a simple check list and also gave them the option to either work through an Internet Training Program or have our team build a strategy for them. If you would like to know more about this then subscribe to our newsletter
