What an exciting time it is for both Consumers and Accommodation and Hotel Operators, with the totally Australian, Book Direct app.

The Book Direct app was designed by Grant Dixon the CEO and Founder of Add Media.

Add Media created a business called Accommodation Button for the local community in Port Douglas, Far North QLD. The goal was to help hotel operators avoid the high commissions charged by online travel agencies (OTAs) and third-party operators. No commissions ever.

The Book Direct app is easy to use for both Accommodation operators and their guests.
Operators simply sign up for a subscription on the Book Direct app, for an annual fee and then appear on the app with a direct live through link to the operator's website. The operators do not pay any commission at all to Book Direct app. They save thousands of dollars by not paying commissions to OTA's.

Operators are also provided with book direct cards, that can be distributed to their clients that have previously booked through third party operators and OTA's as well as Place Artwork on the Bookdirectapp platform, to market their business and receive direct bookings to their existing website.

Consumers can book with the Book Direct App and have confidence that they are supporting an Australian company, and the operators are not being charged extreme commissions and huge profits are not being sent overseas, ensuring the accommodation of their choice can offer the best deal possible. Plus, after searching the Book Direct App, the consumer is communicating directly with the property, which eliminates any problems that arise from dealing with third party operators.

Overall, the Book Direct app is a win-win for both Accommodation operators and their guests. It ensures hotel operators save money and increase direct bookings, and it helps guests to get better deals, and special offers that may only appear exclusively on their websites. Guests can book directly with the properties. Book direct also ensures to keep more revenue in that local community.

The Book Direct app eliminates the need for hotel operators to learn new systems or processes because it integrates with their existing ones. The Book Direct app is designed to be completely adaptable to the software that hotel operators are already using. This means that hotel operators can continue to use their preferred booking system and processes, while also benefiting from the Book Direct app's features and functionality.

This is a major advantage over other direct booking platforms, which often require hotel operators to switch to a new booking system or learn a new set of procedures.

By putting deals on the Book Direct app and marketing it to their email list, hotels can create a win-win situation for themselves and their guests. Properties receive more direct bookings, and guests have access to better deals. This is because when guests book directly with hotels, the hotels keep more of the revenue. This revenue can be used to reinvest in the local community, such as by hiring local employees, purchasing local goods and services, and supporting local charities.

In addition, by downloading the Book Direct app, guests can see direct booking deals all around Australia. This also helps to promote the idea of direct bookings and the advantages that come with it, such as lower rates and better customer service.

Overall, the Book Direct app is a valuable tool for everyone involved in the accommodation industry. It can help to save money, increase direct bookings, improve the guest experience, and support local businesses.

Yes, the Book Direct app is a powerful tool that can benefit everyone, whilst keeping the revenue within Australia
