5 Steps to Maximize Business Advantage Success

Want to make the most of your Business Advantage subscription? Here are five easy ways to market yourself to potential guests and impact booking decisions.

1. Add Direct Contact Details

  1. Sign into your Management Center.
  2. Go to Drive Bookings in the menu and click Update Contact Details.
  3. Add new contact information or edit existing contact, then click Update.

Why Should You Add Direct Contact Details?

Adding Contact Details to your accommodation’s Tripadvisor listing opens the door to direct booking referrals and allows you to connect with travelers around the globe on the world’s largest travel site. The links to your website, phone number and email address will appear at the top of your Tripadvisor page. This makes it easy for travelers to contact you for more information, and to convert from researching to booking with just one click.
