Update everything all in one go: the Visit Wales website, our destination websites and app, your own business website, and partner websites including Booking.com; saving you valuable time and energy.
N.B. If you already use a different availability and booking system you can still join membership and be on our websites; there are a number of other systems that we work with. Please get in touch.

5. Raise your profile in more places, exclusively with us
Our accommodation, attraction and event widgets can feed your business or event information across to any website that has the widget installed (over 85 so far). For example, an accommodation provider might ‘plug-in’ attractions or events to show visitors what’s going on in their area. Or an attraction or event organiser might have an accommodation widget to encourage overnight stays.
