We are keen to promote Irish accommodation providers and to help our website visitors get the very best deals through direct bookings. Here at The Ireland Travel Guide and The Ireland Walking Guide websites, we offer accommodation providers of all sizes a choice of marketing solutions.
Reasons to add your accommodation to our websites
Having your property featured on regional tourism / outdoor recreation websites like ours is a great way to attract visiting tourists who have chosen to explore your local area or are just passing through. Keep reading to find out why you should get your accommodation listed on The Ireland Travel Guide and The Ireland Walking Guide websites:
- We list accommodation on our website for free!
- Your accommodation will appear as an image in a slideshow on the relevant county pages on The Ireland Travel Guide and The Ireland Walking Guide websites. Your property's image will contain a single-click link directly to your website. As we add more walk-related content to the website in the future, additional opportunities for image placement will arise. This will require no further action from you.
- We encourage our website visitors to book accommodation directly through you, either online or over the phone. Although we do include geographical search and compare links to Booking.com throughout our websites, we clearly state that any resulting information should only be used to get an idea of local availability and approximate rates. We are not affiliated to Booking.com in any way and earn no commission from them.
- Once set up, your accommodation will be listed permanently without having to renew, resubscribe or pay annual fees. We check all of our outgoing links a couple of times each year to ensure that they are still working and up-to-date. During these checks, we also test links coming back to us from our link exchange partners' websites. If these are not working or have been removed, we will contact the partner to alert them by email. Please note: if an incoming link is not repaired or re-added within one month of an alert issued by us, this will be interpreted as a withdrawal from the link exchange arrangement by the respective partner, in which case we will also remove the associated outgoing links from our websites.
- We receive hundreds of queries each year from people asking us to recommend places to stay. By adding your accommodation to our listings, they will be able to find you on our website.
- We are more likely to interact with accommodation providers on social media if they are listed on our website and include @irelandwalking in their Irish walk-related posts. We receive a notification each time we get mentioned on social media. We read every post we're mentioned in and will like / share / comment accordingly. You can find us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
- Accommodation providers who are listed on our websites are permitted to add their recurring open-invitation walking events to our search-engine-friendly Irish Walking Events listings. Our walking events pages are among the top results in all related search engine queries.
