Outdooractive

📣 And another big step for the safety of people who are active outdoors! At Outdooractive, we tirelessly strive to enhance the safety of outdoor enthusiasts. We are excited to announce a significant milestone in our safety initiatives. Here's what we've accomplished: 1️⃣ Adopting the official markings for hiking trails, ensuring consistency and clarity on difficulty levels. 2️⃣ Implementing the renowned Swiss T-scale across our platform for hiking and mountaineering, providing accurate technical difficulty information. 3️⃣ Visualizing trails for various sports, including wire rope secured sections, Via Ferratas, and special difficulty scales for alpine routes, climbing, and mountain biking. 4️⃣ Ensuring all trail details are easily accessible by zooming in on the map. 5️⃣ Providing comprehensive explanations of difficulty scales to make it user-friendly for all outdoor enthusiasts. Kudos to the team for these advancements towards a safer outdoor experience! 🌟 #OutdoorSafety #Hiking #Mountaineering Outdooractive

📣 Outdooractive goes camping! Campers are nature-loving people who also want to do something in the great outdoors. To do this, they need reliable first-hand information without having to search around on numerous portals and apps. In the Outdooractive travel guide, we have been featuring campsites alongside all types of accommodation for many years. With the increasing reach of the Outdooractive platform on more than 2,500 digital channels, it is becoming increasingly important that campsites are also presented there. We will be discussing how destinations can bring these topics together next week in Düsseldorf. Be part of it: https://lnkd.in/dgg4-39u #outdoor #camping #caravan #destination

In 2 Tagen startet die #Deutschlandtour in Schweinfurt. Ein Radsport Highlight für das Land und die teilnehmenden Destinationen. Nicht zuletzt, weil es die perfekte Bühne bietet sich als Radsport freundliche Destination zu präsentieren. Kein Zufall, dass die Tour im #Saarland finished. Die Tourismus Zentrale Saarland setzt bei der Bewerbung des Events und ihren Möglichkeiten für alle Radfahrer auf Outdooractive. Mit unserem Reiseführer und einer Challenge sprechen wir bedürfnisgerecht die verschiedenen Rad-Segmente an und inspirierenden zur nächsten Ausfahrt im schönen #Saarland. Vielen Dank für die gute Zusammenarbeit Tourismus Zentrale Saarland @Klaus Wallach https://lnkd.in/depizF4w https://lnkd.in/dJprNBRA

QUESTION: How can hotels and other accommodation providers escape the stranglehold of increasingly powerful monopolists such as booking.com & Co.? ANSWER: Not at all, if we all carry on like this. The monopolists are becoming ever more powerful and booking commissions are continuing to rise. As a business, you have to accept the ever higher commissions of 15% -> 20% -> 25% -> 30%, because these gatekeepers will determine who is seen and booked in the future. At Outdooractive we manage more and more providers of bookable services and with our growing reach we inform many tourists about the possibilities on their next vacation. But: We have deliberately decided AGAINST a commission-based business model for bookable services! We have now developed a product for accommodation and other service providers that focuses on service for guests (Pro) and generates relevant reach through additional placements in our travel guide (Pro+). We generate real leads for the hotels and providers and send the inquiries and interested parties directly to their websites so that the booking is made directly with the hotelier and provider. We have now launched a freemium model where you can get started for free and if you want more services or more reach (and therefore leads), you can book this for an annual flat rate. https://lnkd.in/d6PQ2hnb We believe that we are stronger together. Outdooractive is the only platform in the world where you can take back control of your own communication. We also call it: The Alliance of Officials. #tourism #hotels #accommodation

🎧 Your destination is heard! Podcasts are no longer just a trend. Rather, they have established themselves as a fixed and popular information channel. The volume of tourist audio content is constantly increasing. We are now also taking off with our well-known audio guide and making the worldwide digital Outdooractive travel guide audible and thus even more tangible for your guests. Our unique technology gives you the best distribution options for your high-quality audio content - with your own map layer and in geo-podcast format. For years, we have been working with our more than 6,000 partners to build the Travel Guide, a unique outdoor ecosystem that connects the global community and has a contact potential of 60,000,000 users. Within the Travel Guide, there is already editorial audio content in many destinations, which is currently played out regionally via the Outdooractive app or white label apps. Using geo-fencing, the app automatically plays the audio files for the nearest point of interest and thus acts as a talking travel guide, just like a hop-on hop-off city tour on a double-decker bus, but without the need for a pre-prepared tour. Now it's your turn: upload your audio files to the Outdooractive platform. #travelguide #tourism #audioguide
