What can RouteYou offer me as a hotel, B&B, resto or pub?

Here you get an overview how RouteYou can be used when you have a hotel, a B&B, a camping, an accommodation, a restaurant or a pub. Read here how you can provide a great service to your customers related to recreational routes and how you can get more customers using these recreational routes as a means for advertising using the RouteYou channels.

Recreative routes in different flavours

Does this sounds familiar? A customer comes to you and asks if there are nice cycling routes, MTB routes, hiking routes or motor routes available in the neighbourhood of your hotel or B&B? But they also want a route they can do with the kids. Or one which is more adventurous. Or just avoiding unpaved roads because they don't have walking boots with them. And what is worthwhile to see in the neighbourhood if you are intereseted in heritage or culture or nature, ...

    

And do you have a map of the route? Or can I upload it on my GPS or smartphone? RouteYou offers a solution for this problem:  

1. Create and maintain routes yourself starting and ending at the front door of your accommodation using the RoutePlanner of RouteYou (or we create it for you).
2. After the route is created, the route can be viewed by the customer using the RouteViewer on our or YOUR website. The customer can print the map via PC (with instructions and POIs), and/or can download it on a GPS or he/she can use the route on a smartphone.
3. You can visualise the route(s) on your own website using the RouteViewer Plugin (for one route) or using the MapSearch Plugin (for several routes and POIs).

Interesting facts

A study of InsideFacebook concluded the following (here is the reference)

The destination, not the room amenities, drives interactions — less than 50% of engagement is on posts related to facilities.

Maybe that is not that surprising but it does mean that showing the environment near your lodging facility via routes and interactive maps of sights to see in the neighbourhood (POIs) is a good strategy to promote your hotel or B&B, ...
