As we scramble to contemplate the needs of domestic travellers wanting to explore regionally or nationally – do you think guests would explore hobby-based travel? Would they be interested in being matched with like-minded people? We have a service matching guests with hosts with the same hobbies? Like cycling, golf, fishing, patchwork, writing, pottery etc. It’s soft-adventure for singles and couples. We never really pushed this angle before but we are looking for a few marketing hooks for our Virtual Hotel idea. It’s fairly small and modest so far. We’ve had 18,000 guests through – mainly in homestays and hosted self-contained units. Enough to justify an upgrade to our software so we can collect a small commission and get Inbound ready. We have been trying to pioneer the Sharing Economy in New Zealand for about a decade…and exploring ways to level the playing field in a way that is fair and robust. Any thoughts? I have just pitched an idea into the Hack-a-Crisis….which could be an interesting way to bring a little bit of traction. We are very close to launching the new enterprise level software.https://www.guaana.com/challenge/QaiQJJ5bq8oyh7n3g/results/TwAhaRp5PTBLP5Xxz/EoD5JTqEjqyRj6MNY/main

Hi Travel & Business Experts!I have a boutique travel agency in Australia and expanded into New Zealand about 8 months ago – I am based in New Zealand. Due to the nature of COVID-19, I have lost all business (income) until at least December 2020. I still have a few inquiries coming through for next year, but certainly not at capacity of what I am used to.. My people (Clients) are uncertain about future travel at this time because of the issues that have come up with cancellation terms and conditions through airlines/suppliers, time-due of refunds, which for most of my AU database, is upwards of 9 months, and with these changing every day, and insurance not covering, they are not confident in placing funds down.. What I am thinking of doing, is posting some ‘pre-registration’ options for some holidays for 2021. I am thinking of basing these packages on the usual travel spots, inc; Bali, Fiji, New Zealand. I am then thinking of contacting Intrepid / Scenic / Royal, to start working on some deals for next year. I was just wondering if anyone can please advise me on the best way to do this and if I even should do it? How should I notify my people of these awesome 2021 programs I can create? How much do I charge for a ‘pre-reg’ deposit – to ensure a financial commitment? What should my rules around this be?Any assistance here would be greatly appreciated. I am trying my best to stay positive, but with all income down the drain, I am just as nervous as my clients are around where the industry is heading.. Thanks in advance, Soleil
