For Bed & Breakfast and Hotel owners:
How to get your accommodation listed with us?

We are a privately owned German Tour Operator that specialises solely in the Scottish market. We have been in operation for over 15 years and in order to expand our B&B and Hotel section further, we are looking for additional properties to be included in our CD brochure and Internet site.

Each B&B house or Hotel is represented in our CD catalogue and our large Internet site, with pictures and lots of information. We write about the background of the house and how it is equipped. We also give information on your area of Scotland, local attractions, activities and the infrastructure of the area.

We advertise our CD catalogue through the Internet as well as in magazines, targeting people with an interest in Scotland and the English language. We also advertise in the German publications of travel information magazines and in travel guides for Scotland. We spend a lot of money on advertising and publications every year and at least £ 400 for good Internet search engine results every month.

However, our success is based on our unique advantage being the individuality and personal service we give to our clients. We keep to a high standards in all we do.

Working with us is absolutely free for you. We do not ask you for any fee to set up a catalogue or Internet entry. And we do not request exclusivity. But we would appreciate, if you do not use other German agencies.

Nevertheless we have to watch our prices in order to be competitive. and be attractive to German tourists, considering that they have so many options.

In fixing our prices, we need to be competitive, so we would recommend that your net price to us is at least 10% lower than the one that is published in other catalogues, brochures and on your own internet page. We add our fee onto the price you give us, which is the price that goes into our price list. We charge the same percentage for all houses. (If you want to compare your letting price with other properties you can check by using our sales price list and our calculation formula, which we will gladly provide.)

We only deal with pre-booked guests. Hence, when we get a booking, we phone you and ask if you have a vacancy. Once you have agreed you will get a confirmation of the booking.

As we have strict travel operator laws in Germany, we cannot collect the full rent more than four weeks prior to the booked date. We send you the full payment (in Pound Sterling) by cheque from the Bank of Scotland (or a money transfer) about two weeks prior to the start of the stay.

If you are interested please send us information about your accommodation including photos of the interior, exterior and the surroundings. We look forward to hearing from you.

Many internet pictures are much less than this and not suitable for catalogue printing. We want to show your accommodation as best as possible, therefore please send photos of more than 1000 x 1600 pixels. Nevertheless we can deal with good paper prints or slides (transparencies).
