Important European Marketing Tip
As Europeans tend to have multiple weeks of vacation, trip planning often takes place a year well in advance. Businesses using the GoBC booking calendar (or calendar exchange with your system) assist European guests who look to stay 3-4 weeks with the communities of their choice. The ability to visibly recognizing what is available is more vital than you may first suspect. Europeans are less likely to call to make arrangements, as 1-800 numbers cannot be accessed through European phone lines and that consistent emails to dozens of businesses trying to find openings can be frustrating to say the least. For more details contact us on how to showcase the GoBC booking calendar or your own calendar on our site. This GoBC service is free to active customers.

Look Booked, Stay Booked
Most of our customers would tell you that when guests plan a year out or more, popular looking accommodations with great images definitely get the attention of inquisitive guests. If you look busy and guests are planning their vacation, they are more likely to arrange a way to stay where the service and location is being regularly booked. Wouldn’t you? Remember the GoBC booking calendar service is free.

New Admin Area – Log In
General customer feedback and ongoing research into how GoBC can better service you has lead to the development of our revised admin area for managing your listing online. Have a look.
