darker looks of hotel websites - with ""REPAINT'EM ALL" -11 tripadvise

 ё-Sound.   From old notes of IPMAN (island property marketer advisor now).

   "Global booking machines became too global, Asiarooms was sold from unknown owners-holders to next-somebody - only buzzwords - and disappeared from radars, and even Tipadvisor stopped to be look like "non-commercial review's portal" - now its looking more like online-booking-space with best prices and more trustable appeal - search among all the booking websites to find the best deal.

Good place to present new arrival - official website of Meridian Khao Tam - small family hotel in Baan Tai, rooms from 500 THB/night - onlibe booking.

​     Each of them has best-price policy, included in contract agreement, but we can't stop on it here - we going futher. Hostelworld bought a H-bookers, or vise-versa, and this new BigO ldPalius increased the commission and seriously improved many things, still being separated in 2 systems.

 All the big platforms instantly improving everything, delighting us with new solutions, while rooms in good Phangan resorts are.same for ages - just renovating and replacing .broken stuff. More and more things happens in nowhere-on-Earth - in World wide web.

Feel that its perfect time to show you PhotoStay and article about it - accommodation for photographers, from photographers, cheapest start-up ever with full 1,5$ invested.
​
​    Watching all of that from the reception desk in a small established resort, on a same time we didn't notice any inclreasing in occupancy - when its high its still high, while if its low - then I should work on it. So what all this improvement giving us in real? What its gives to our clients, especially returning guests, most of which has a friends among us here?" - I didn't see nothing.     Until the morning, when I saw everything.

     That morning the whole picture visited my mind in its dynamic circle move:

•  that booking-manage stories and lessons becaming for the new hoteliers as impenetrable jungle  for desert's beduins .
• Being web-pro's, we should made our own easy-working booking it-solution - both website and platform - for those nice small family hotels on Phangan, mostly for friends and their friends, places where we'd like to stay. First, for whom managing their hotel on few of different non-stop improving booking websites its just adding the headache to boring part of the job, what is already right enough in volume. Sure, with some exceptions, such as "I'd Love to learn new stuff - Oh, I love it sooo much!" story. The idea was then shared among our few-headed team of dedicated Pro's - I just learned Joomla and together with friend we made Phanganbusiness.com - his end is not so memorable for me. We both agreed that we can make it with pleasure - non-existing now - Phangan One was born, in 2011.

3 years after...
    
 Couple of new aromas what I smell that Spring-Summer:

• visitors of hotel website already know all what they need to know -  facilities and amenities, distance and reviews - all that they can read anywhere else -  so hotelier don't actually need to duplicate it (returning guests also don't need all that info), and can use their website as a playing-space, or anything different - but not what its was supposed to be before;
• usually there are no point for small hotel today to work too hard for the web-traffic on hotel website - more reasonable to concentrate on content making it more attractive and live;
• own website visitors reading texts and blog posts with more attention, than on "same-same" robot's info-areas. So its not a right place for copying text, which is already presented somewhere-sometime.

Below are few examples how I used it, all made using latest -16 Kalos Fund booking engine and art and only 1 little man's creativity :  Below are few examples how I used it, all made using latest -16 Kalos Fund booking engine & art and with only  1 little man's  creativity :

1.       The website popularity of small resort or hotel with 10-30 rooms are among 500-1000 visitors/months - enough to try something new from the best you can to entertain your future guests and ask then them to BOOK ONLINE HERE!

  I know - its sounds strange - to offer it here, on Phangan real estate blog. But I spent some time trying to contact the assiciations, travel communities and other dedicated professionals, and its look like its not in anyone's interests - just small hoteliers and their guests interested in it. Interested and want it - when they getting informed. And today my websites, on any theme - its my only source to show it. And after the years its not the main and only one - we are busy with ECO-concepts, art-affairs and learning how they both meet in one, when Art eventually refines perception. So let's do it, or we will just watch - what's going next on perspective constantly-growing and highly profitable market of World web-booking - what new colorful web-barriers between tourist and accommodation owner will appears .
