Booking.com will offer customers who rebook their original property a 15% reward (up to AUD$170) after their stay, valid for bookings made until 31 December, 2020 with checkout date until 30 Apri, 2021. To help further support its accommodation partners, Booking.com is also waiving commissions on reservations made as part of this campaign.
“All of us in travel share one common interest: for the travel industry to survive this crisis,” said Tracey Foxall, regional manager Oceania at Booking.com. “We’re working tirelessly to bring domestic demand back to our partners, inspire Aussies to travel safely when ready and reward them for supporting local businesses so that we can continue to make it easier for everyone to experience the world.”
This initiative follows others designed by Booking.com to support partners throughout this challenging time, and as the world begins to travel again – making it easier to clearly display a property’s COVID-19 precautionary measures on its property page and waiving commission on bookings cancelled, date-changed or replaced with a voucher as a result of government travel restrictions in certain places. Booking.com has also introduced a tool to make it easier for partners to increase the flexibility of their policies and is promoting these to help properties benefit from customers seeking flexibility in uncertain times.
