Website Benefits
Launched in July 2007 the www.visitchester.com and www.visitcheshire.com websites enhance the internet presence of products within the Chester and Cheshire region along with its district stakeholders.
Supported by our online marketing activity, our websites aim to be the central point for all visitor information in Chester and Cheshire. Through this we will ensure cost-effective information provision for visitors and generate real time online bookings for accommodation providers.
There are no publishing fees for www.visitchester.com or www.visitcheshire.com we do however operate an inspected only policy for accommodation to ensure an element of quality assurance for our visitors.
All accommodation providers have the opportunity to sell rooms/units online, on both websites, through our secure booking service, enhancing presence and interest in their product and thus increasing occupancy and sales.
Online booking enables guests to see availability on a website in real time and book their accommodation there and then. It is predicted that in 2008, 62% of travellers will book their accommodation online. The internet has changed the way that people book their travel, so if your business doesn’t have instant online booking capabilities, you are missing out.
Visitors to the website are able to find businesses by searching for the exact type of accommodation, attraction, event, activity, shopping or dining venue they are looking for.
