Hotels Directory Information

A standard listing in the Hotels directory of this site simply displays the hotel name, address and telephone number. Standard listings are placed in alphabetical order and they appear beneath Supreme and Preferred listings.

Why stop at only giving visitors the bare minimum of information about your Hotel?

Quite frankly, we can't think of one good business reason to rely on the standard listing to bring you bookings. Especially when you can tell the visitor so much more by upgrading - So many more benefits for a very small outlay.

Would you like site visitors to ........

• Find your details before your competitor's?
• Know what Tourist Board rating you have?
• Be able to contact you immediately from the web site?
• See what your hotel looks like?
• See your location on the map?
• See a list of the facilities you offer?
• Find out how close you are to tourist attractions, theatres, the beach etc.?
• See how competitive your rates are?
• Have enough information to decide to make a booking with you?

If you answered YES to any of these questions, then the standard listing is not going to fulfil your needs.

For the professional hotelier we recommend one of the packages below. You will see that you can get all of the needs identified above for a very small investment.

Did you know that the top five people in a list are likely to receive an enquiry level that is twenty times greater than the next 5?

Make it easy for visitors to find you - get to the top of the list!

Preferred listings appear above the standard listings and below the Supreme Listings in the Region list and the Town list, which means you have a greater chance of receiving an enquiry from the visitor who views the page for your area.

Preferred Listings appear in random order, changing position with each visitor and refresh, so that means equal positioning opportunities for you no matter what letter of the alphabet your hotel name begins with!.

The Preferred listing appears within a silver bordered individual box, and your hotel name is in larger type than in the standard listings, to attract attention to your entry.

It also includes guide prices for rooms, an e-mail link if you have an e-mail address, a free map link to multimap.com which shows your approximate location (based on your postcode), and a link to your web site if you have one.

If you have a rating with the AA, RAC, ETC, STB or WTB this will appear in your listing.
(note: only star ratings will appear. If you have other awards you can display these on your web page)

Plus! - This listing now includes our Stats service, which means you can see how many people visit your web site from the link in your A1TouristGuide entry

• 1 Year Preferred Listing: £28.00
• 3 Year Listing: You pay only £39.00
  (equivalent to £13.00 per year - Save £45.00!!)

A Supreme listing appears above the Preferred listings, which means that if you have a Supreme listing you are guaranteed to be in the top listings for your town and county.

Supreme Listings appear in random order which changes each time someone visits or refreshes the page, and that means that no matter what the name of your hotel, you will achieve the No.1 position in the town and county lists on a rota basis.

Your Supreme listing appears within a gold bordered individual box, and your business name is in larger type than in the standard listings, to attract attention to your entry. It also includes a thumbnail picture, facilities guide, guide to room rates, a free map link to multimap.com which shows your approximate location (based on your postcode), an e-mail link if you have an e-mail address and an eye-catching multi-coloured link to your web page if you have one.

Within each County/Region it is possible for the visitor to search for accommodation in a particular Town. The town selection list box only contains the names of the Towns that have guest houses listed in the database.

If your town name does not appear in the list for your Region/County this is because there are no hotels listed yet in your town.

When your hotel is listed in our database your Town name will automatically appear in the town selection box for your County/Region.

Some people say:

"I will take a standard listing and if it performs well I will upgrade next year".

Why is this a mistake?

1. A standard listing will not produce the same results that a higher listing will, so it is impossible to judge the value of a higher listing by the performance of a standard listing.

2. A free standard listing does not link to your own web site.

3. A free standard isting does not allow visitors to send you an e-mail

4. Our extremely low limited period discounted rates will not be repeated, and to get a higher listing later may cost considerably more.

5. People are looking for a hotel room in your area now, and they could be staying at one of your competitor's hotels tonight.

Stop! Think before you order a standard listing. Are you getting what you really need?
