Effective April 2010, FindsYou.com service will be available to VisitBritain users as part of the product search facility on the website www.visitbritain.com. The new find engine allows accommodation seekers to post a 'wanted' advertisement on the site, outlining exactly what they are looking for. FindsYou.com then matches the request with suitable accommodation providers who are then able to contact the user directly. For the first six months, accommodation providers will be offered the service free of charge. Anyone running a quality-assessed hotel, guesthouse or self-catering accommodation can register on findsyou.com to be part of the scheme.
Guy Walker, CEO, FindsYou.com said, "For accommodation seekers in the UK, we expect it to be a major success, as it's simple, eliminates the leg-work of timely searches and delivers results quickly. Our recent research shows that although majority of people use the internet to source accommodation, they're increasingly disillusioned with faceless booking systems. The Findsyou.com service re-introduces the personal contact that most customers prefer."
