RoomsHere.com is the accommodation website with a difference
Listing 21,000 accommodation options Australia wide, and integrating all sectors of the Accommodation Industry into one website, RoomsHere.com is the most comprehensive accommodation guide online.
Whilst RoomsHere.com appears to be the same as other "last minute rate" websites, it is quite different.
Rather than having to pay commission on every booking (which sometimes mounts up to thousands of dollars annually), for just a small annual Listing Fee Accommodation Providers can upgrade their Basic Listing to an Advanced Listing, which displays 12 months availability and all the contact details necessary to facilitate direct bookings to the business.
There are no ongoing commissions that will insidiously eat away at profits, and consumers world wide can CONNECT DIRECT for personal service not available on "live" online booking systems.
Businesses that wish to target the wholesale market can also flag any product as "commissionable", which discreetly displays in both the Visitor Information Centre and Travel Agent logins. Commissionable product can also be linked to any online booking system.

Well, RoomsHere.com may have the answer for you
The concept of RoomsHere.com was developed by June Kain who is
passionate about tourism. In fact she thinks, talks, walks,
dreams and reads tourism. Add to that an impressive
background in financial management, development of her own bed
and breakfast business, formidable computer skills, and a boundless
supply of energy and you have a superb business woman.
It was while June was working as manager of the Mount Gambier
Visitor Information Centre - for twelve years - that she perceived
a real gap in the tourism industry and the need to streamline
the process of servicing accommodation enquiries at all levels of
the industry.
She has shared the distress of tired visitors to the city as they
look for accommodation at times of peak demand and she has also
experienced the frustration of trying to find
accommodation leading up to and during holiday times
and major events.
June's experiences led her to develop this national accommodation
website which would not only help to overcome the availability
problems the industry was experiencing, but at the same time create
productive networks from Visitor Information Centre to Visitor
Information Centre, which in turn would benefit travellers moving
from region to region, state to state.
RoomsHere.com has been built brick-on-brick to consider all
stakeholders - Consumers, Accommodation Businesses, Travel Agents,
Property Managers, Real Estate Agents, and most significantly
Visitor Information Centres.
June gives special recognition to the importance of healthy
buyer and seller relationships because not only has her research
shown that only about 14% of people book on line, but her wealth of
experience has taught her that people have a variety of needs they
may wish to discuss with their accommodation provider while
booking, from pets, to children, to general enquiries about the
region.
