(TRAVPR.COM) UNITED KINGDOM - June 12th, 2013 - Hotel Link Solutions has launched in Swaziland under the management of Myxo's Woza Nawe Cultural Tours. It offers local accommodation a new opportunity to increase sales by taking control of and developing their own online visibility.
It is more important now than ever before for a hotel to have a strong online presence, and with this in mind it’s hoped that new accommodation providers in Swaziland will have an opportunity to access this vital promotion. Hotel Link Solutions, run in Swaziland by Myxo Mdluli of Myxo’s Woza Nawe Cutlural Tours, has been launched and aims to do just this.
Myxo Mdluli said, “To be successful, a property needs as much exposure as possible. Being marketed through numerous online channels is one of the quickest ways to achieve this objective.”
According to the Swaziland Tourism Authority, in 2012 there were 140 accommodation facilities in Swaziland. Hotel Link Solutions expects to capture a significant portion of that market. With the rollout of its product, it anticipates that the Swaziland team will sign up around seven properties per month. These will be a mixture of everything from small guesthouses to upmarket hotels, and include properties owned by the indigenous people.
Importantly, 81 of the 140 active properties in Swaziland currently have operational websites but only eight are connected to a channel manager. This is strong evidence that there is further room to improve. Hotel Link Solutions Swaziland can build and host fully functional websites, as well as assist with social marketing tools such as TripAdvisor.
“Working with Hotel Link Solutions will allow any local businesses, even the smallest properties, to connect to a global market with minimal interruption to their current operations,” reinforced André Franchini, global CEO of Hotel Link Solutions.
“The current market conditions in Swaziland is evidence of how much value Hotel Link Solutions could bring to the local market through an increased online presence and an improved booking experience,” concluded Mdluli.
