Direct bookings from the holiday guide has INCREASED from 2016 showing the power of print advertising. Just because you can't count the clicks, does not mean you haven't made a lasting impression on readers.
In a world where we are surrounded by technology, it's fantastic to know that our official Visitor Guide for Northumberland has shown an increase in direct bookings. Users of the guide prefer to book directly with the accommodation provider, meaning you don't lose out on commissions and gain the ability to grow your business organically rather than through booking websites.
