In Summation

We wanted each destination page to educate the user so they felt like an insider. Using vivid imagery, emotionally charged copy to make the users feel compelled to take action. We wanted users to forget the pain of searching for a destination to stay. Integrating Google Virtual Tour user’s would be able to get around and a better feeling of the property. Richer, more hardworking editorial content with embedded video provide a better range of what we have to offer. Upselling package deals that are relevant and time-sensitive packages could resonate more with our audience and make the content feel fresh. To seal the deal, we make every destination more accessible. If there's no vacancy, we recommend another destination with availability.

Different Destinations, One Platform

What if we gave each property a more distinctive look that felt unique to the destination? Branding each location so that they would have their own brand, but under one platform with all the same technologies and features.
