Sell Your Wales Tourism Product From The Wales Outdoors Website
Together we are stronger!
Are you or can you point us to a tourism business in Wales looking to increase its bookings?
Wales Outdoors is a Wales-wide tourism portal. However, we do not own accommodation or attraction products, and most of our event provision is in South Wales.
Wales Outdoors has a dream! We would like each tourism website, to the best of their individual ability, to be a one-stop shop for regional or national tourism products. We realise this is likely a long way off and perhaps this will forever remain a dream, but we are working at doing just this from our website https://walesoutdoors.co.uk
Are you connected with TXGB? Well, we have become a distributor with the lauded TXGB, and we need tourism products in Wales to log into their TXGB account and tick the Wales Outdoors opt-in box. We'll do the rest and will have newly opted-in businesses listed and for sale on the Wales Outdoors website within a few days.
You're not onboarded with TXGB? No problem. For those without live availability ticketing, we highly recommend onboarding with TXGB. For those with a ticketing provider, it's very likely that TXGB can connect to their current system. See the footnote to this post for a list of ticketing providers that TXGB can currently easily connect with. Wales Outdoors will be happy to facilitate connecting with the right person at TXGB, who will also be able to explain how the system works. For a brief overview, please see this blog post - https://walesoutdoors.substack.com/p/wales-outdoors-is-a-txgb-distributor
What we'll do for you... For each business that opts in with Wales Outdoors, we will, of course, proactively sell their product. We have a couple of basic pages currently on the Wales Outdoors website's main menu as 'Stay' and 'Experiences', but these will expand and then change over time and as they grow. Our software is in place for map searches, regional searches and for events by calendar searches. All those who opt in with Wales Outdoors will be featured in a blog post, gain a website page and we'll be regularly promoting areas and products through our social media channels. We will also be updating all of our hike tour and information page content to point to those that onboard with us, so offering multiple opportunities for visitors to the Wales Outdoors website to come across partners and then book everything for their trip from one place. Think of our hike up Snowdon page or our Caerphilly Castle information page. These will feature relevant places to stay, things to do, transport options and places to go for breakfast and their evening meal.
That's a lot of promotion for our 9%, but there is more... We want to be actively engaged with those who opt in with us, and so we'll, eventually, get round to making a personal visit to every business that onboards. We can also offer either a widget for partners to add to their website, which sells the Wales Outdoors hike and tour portfolio from within their website, and/or a discount code for their clients for Wales Outdoors products. This will be for 20% and is a great way to encourage customer loyalty and a sense of purchasing products from a 'tourism family'.
Kate and Andy do hope that you will find some time to take up or promote this exciting opportunity of partnership with Wales Outdoors.
