Make friends and partnership links

Whatever type of tourism you are in, you are bond to know what other services are around your area, and further afield.

Link partnerships with places nearby.
If you have a CMS website, where you can make small changes yourself, it is worth making link partnerships with complementary services. E.G. you have a hotel website and in your area there are 6 tourism operators, they all have their own little websites, if your visitors ask you what there is to do in your area, you often recommend these people.

So why not get together with them, and set up a website link exchange, get everyone to write one sentence about their particular business. Then agree to add all the links to your own website.

Links with other places to stay future away.
Then you may know of other hotels that are in other towns close by or hundreds of miles away. Do the same thing with them.

The end result, if your website will rank better in search engines, because other websites in your area link to you, and rank even better again since other websites that do the same thing as you, offer accommodation also link to you.

By taking these easy steps you could help your website immensely, as well as the websites that you have the linking arrangement with. It is also quite possible that your website will get found when people do a search for accommodation near a tourism activity that you have a link exchange with.

Great service for your clients.
This is a very good service to offer your customers, if you own a fishing charter, and a visitor to your website see’s you recommend a hotel nearby, chances are they will book a room at that place, it only makes sense they wouldn’t have to decide to take your fishing trip, then have to go search the web for somewhere to stay before and after, it would be much easier and quicker, to go with your suggestion wouldn’t it.

More services to offer.
Once you found this worked well, you could even go one step further and make a package deal, a customer’s stays at this place, does your fishing charter, and get’s a cut rate at each place, if both sites offer such packages you could be getting bookings from two sources, do this with everyone in your link list, and you could quite be doing quite a good business out of it.
