This means your own website can take bookings live over the net. The benefit of this is you can link to it from all your other ads and take bookings from it in one place.

I can tell you that only about 10% of the home owners keep their availability calender up to date. 90% believe that it is not important or they are lazy to do that.<BR/>Es a result they get meny booking enquiries, which they can not handle, because they are already booked out. I don't understand that - but it is a fackt!ArrangeYourVacationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361091054066462287noreply@blogger.com
