This will greatly impact the visibility of GetYourGuide products in Germany and further accelerate our growth in bookings.

Here is a brief summary of the three new GetYourGuide partners:

Hotel.de is one of the leading German hotel booking websites with several thousand bookings per day. You may read further information on the company here.

Swoodoo.de is the leading German meta-search website for flights & hotels and are one of the most impressive travel companies in the country from a technological point of view. Here is more information about Swoodoo.

Tripwolf is a very special online travel guide, who mixes professional reviews from guide books such as Marco Polo and Footprint with user generated content. They are also very well known for their iPhone application. You may find more detailed information on Tripwolf here.

We are thrilled about working with such high calibre partners and are very much looking forward to see tours & activities to become an increasingly more important topic on the agenda of travel distributing companies on the internet.

Among the first websites to integrate our widget are Tripwolf, a leading online travel guide, and Swoodoo, the leading German metasearch website. Below you can see how they integrated our widget.

We are now planning to roll out this widget to as many sites as possible including blogs, destination sites, travel communities, & many more. With the GetYourGuide widget it is possible to display the products of a selected region, keyword or even of a certain supplier! And for that, you only need to put 5 lines of code into your website.

So if you know a website that could use our widget, let us know. As a supplier you could also put the widget on your website and only display your own products in a nice way.

We’d like to thank Tourismuszukunft for their honest and critical coverage of our new widget.

We are convinced that this is the future of the tours & activities market.

Since the launch of our new website just 4 months ago, we have already attracted close to 1000 tours & activities from over 200 suppliers. This makes GetYourGuide the world’s fastest growing platform for tours & activities products. We believe that as the platform as a whole becomes more attractive, all suppliers will benefit from it.

At the same time, we are in talks with distribution partners ranging from big OTAs and hotel websites to travel communities and official tourism boards. Therefore we are extremely pleased by the speed of how Travel.ch – the leading OTA in Switzerland - has already integrated our products into their website. Travel.ch’s approach is to create pages for popular destinations and list the flights, hotel and activity options for each respective destination. You can see one example here: Barcelona (scroll to the bottom).

This is just one possibility how GetYourGuide products can be integrated into partner websites, and even with Travel.ch we are already working on deeper integration possibilities. We’d like to thank Travel.ch for being a fantastic partner to work with and for their invaluable advice. The team around Travel.ch clearly has a firm grasp on the future of travel.

If you know any distribution partners that you can recommend, drop us a note and help us help you sell more tours & activities. More information about our partner program can be found here.
