Testimonials

Enderley Gardens Resort has been working closely with eTourism since May of 2011.

eTourism has provided us with an excellent service which is tailored to the needs of our organisation. They have succeeded in creating a very effective and visually appealing website and booking engine which is user friendly, specific and relevant to the particular needs of our organisation.

The Search Engine Optimization (SEO) provided by eTourism has also been significant in our rankings with the major Internet Search Engines. This then relates to a better online presence and then generates more direct bookings for the resort.

Lee and the Team should be commended for their constant hard work and great communication when it comes to improving our online services and presence. We share a fantastic business relationship that is open to suggestions, feedback and improvements.

I can confidently recommend eTourism as a solid and reliable company, and experts in their field. We have enjoyed working with them and we look forward to a long and mutually successful future.

We inherited the eTourism website solution when we purchased our management rights business some two years ago. We were initially very sceptical with regards to paying commissions on our own website bookings in order to have this (so-called) free website. However when looking into the eTourism offering we found it to be highly cost effective as the full support supplied by the team I do not believe can be matched. Once the website was developed to our taste it was incredibly easy to update with both content and visuals.

Lee's team sent out regular blogs for us with all sorts of local topics and events, these were written for us and posted at absolutely no charge. One of the many advantages of using eTourism was the Email Campaign facility which was managed extremely well by the eTourism team.

We found eTourism Web Site Development, Website Support, Website Access, Email Campaign assistance and Database Management highly effective for our business.

We have since sold our management rights business, but would not hesitate to be in contact with Lee and his team if we became involved in the hospitality industry again.

When coming into the Management Rights Industry we looked for a web designer and someone to host our website, after two failed attempts of design with two different companies, we were looking into designing our own. Then … along came eTourism. We were skeptical at first due to the lack of assistance and direction we had experienced with the other two companies, and high cost.

eTourism had our new website up and running in no time to a design that we were rapt with and at no cost to us. At eTourisms request this year, they are now revamping our website at no cost to us. New photos will be added.

It’s not just the cost savings to us, but the ease of working with a team that is focused on developing and delivering a website that is effective in today’s competitive market.

We highly recommend eTourism who uses a dedicated team as your web designer and webhost.

March 2014

We can recommend the installation of an 'eTourism' website which we have had now for nearly 18 months.
It is very user friendly and we have had comments from guests as to how easy it is to book on line.
The back up support is excellent and nothing is ever too big a problem to the eTourism team and also supplying us with a very up-to-date website.

It has now been linked to our accommodation program and this has made life even easier for us. Keep up the good work.

I have been associated with eTourism for just on 2 years. The service that we receive in terms of website marketing; support and maintenance has been excellent. During 2007, in conjunction with Lee Tester and the team at eTourism, we developed a totally new look website with the objective of improving its functionally, as well as increasing our web exposure to generate more direct business. We are absolutely delighted with the end result. Our bookings via our website now represent more than 60% of our total internet bookings. Our site provides all of the features of instant availability, a secure payment system, allotment control, special offers, as well as last minute pricing options that give the best possible return, rather than managing the multitude of last minute accommodation sites most properties rely upon.

I would highly recommend eTourism to any accommodation property seeking to expand their E Marketing at a competitive cost.

eTourism's Boost program has certainly done as it promised. With their free web site designed to my specifications and a guaranteed percentage increase in bookings, how could you lose?

Lee and the team at eTourism have always been professional and very helpful, always exceeding my expectations.

The admin side of the website couldn't be easier to change and the monthly newsletters are great for added promotion.

Central Apartments & Hotels have been working with eTourism since 2008.

We have found their team to be highly professional, efficient and effective in providing us with top quality marketing support services. eTourism built a new website for us in 2010 and in that same year provided a new booking engine which has been a seamless transition for us in delivering a fast and streamlined booking mechanism to our clients. We have seen a significant increase in direct business for our apartment hotels, residential apartments and meeting venues in Brisbane and Melbourne.
