Unlike most travel portals, we provide direct contact details for Tourism Operators. This allows consumers to negotiate the best possible deals direct.

For this reason, we are unable to answer queries about travel and accommodation. We are not a registered travel agent, nor do we sell goods or services direct to the public. Our role is to assist tourism operators to distribute their product direct to consumers using the web as a marketing medium.

However, our management team shares over 30 years experience in Australian tourism, and we provide this site as a marketing tool to address the need for online information and travel offers sought by many experienced travellers and online shoppers.

TRAVELLERS

Please feel free to make direct contact with any of the holiday operators listed in the Australian holiday directory. We reiterate, we're unable to respond to direct holiday/travel questions as we try to ensure tourism operators publish all the information you will need.

Travel Insurance

Travel insurance is highly recommended in conjunction with all holidays, to cover unforseen circumstances.  Obtain a free, no-obligation online travel insurance quote from TravInsure.com.au, and you will likely be surprised how very affordable comprehensive travel insurance, underwritten by Allianz, can be, including cover for otherwise expensive unexpected costs such as the rental car excess insurance charged by most car hire companies over the counter.

TOURISM OPERATORS

We recommend a range of online services to assist in promotion of your small or large tourism enterprise.

Online Booking System

Provide real time and secure bookings using your own private labelled site using BookAhead. Suited to both accommodation and tour operators, or package holiday providers, BookAhead interfaces with a choice of secure payment methods to simplify the secure booking process for tourism operators.

Offer last minute / standby deals, and put together special offers with a strong "call to action" using this unique, industry leading booking engine.  Details on the system available at BookAheadNow.com and the travel portal showing a selection of tourism operators' offers is shown at the BookAhead Travel Portal.

Search Engine Marketing

Promote your site in the search engine result pages (SERPs) of Google, Yahoo! and MSN, using the industry expertise of Travel and Tourism Specialists Unearthed®.  Their team of search engine marketing experts will provide strategic research and competitor analysis to create a plan for your online success.

Discount Domain Name Registration

Since deregulation of the Australian domain name industry it's no longer cost-prohibitive to secure multiple versions of your brand name online.  In fact, one of the most basic online strategies for any size business should be to protect your online brand by securing as many variations of your product/service/brand as possible. Discount domain registration including protection of your name in the massive growing .cn and .asia domains marketplaces is available through DomainSave.

If you are still over-paying for domain registration it is also possible to transfer your existing domains to DomainSave and save on renewal costs when they are next due. To assess how much you'll save, compare domain registration renewal prices.
