Internet Opportunities for Lodging
Sifting through the many advertising options on the Internet can be mind-boggling. Our regional websites were developed with the visitor in mind; as comprehensive resources for information about our destinations.

Lodging Listing:
The Bureau lists all businesses (about which we're aware) on the appropriate regional web site for free. These free listings include your business name, phone number, address, web address, and email address.
Click Here for a Lodging Sign-Up Form (text format, free).

However, businesses are encouraged to upgrade these text listings to enhanced photo listings to ensure that your property stands out. Be sure that you are featured on these high-traffic sites.

Enhanced Photo Listings:
When you upgrade your online presence to an enhanced listing, the visibility of your business is increased by 60% - leading to more inquiries - and more overnight stays!
Click Here for a Lodging Photo Listing Sign-Up Form.

Businesses with enhanced photo listings are also eligible to use a variety of marketing tools we've designed to communicate with web surfers.

Additional Lodging "tools" available include:

Availability Calendar:


Take advantage of this easy online feature, which allows the consumer to check whether or not your property has availability, and if a minimum length of stay is required. Click Here for a larger Availability Calendar example.

To get started, email a unique password (8 letters or less) for your property to: Availability Calendar.

Availability Calendar "How To" instructions, Click Here.

e-Mail a Reservation Request:
Let's face it, people would rather email than call on the phone. That's why we created this easy form for the visitor to fill out – and email their request to the lodging properties of their choice.

For an Email A Reservation Request example, Click Here.

To sign-up, all you need to do is click and complete: Email a Reservation Request with an e-mail address- that you will check daily – and respond to any inquiries within 24 hours.

Ski Reservation Request:
This is another online form designed with the customer in mind. Their next ski trip is planned easily by filling out a simple form. An integral part of their plans will of course include lodging – and that's where you come in.

Just send an email to Email A Ski Reservation Request with the email address that should receive these ski inquiries, and wait by your inbox! Response within 24 hours is required.

Group Reservation Request:
These features both work the same as the e-Mail a Reservation Request – they are just targeted specifically to parties of 10 or more rooms.

If your lodging business has the capacity to host groups of 10 or more rooms, click Group Reservation Request Program to sign- up.

Hot New York Deals and Packages:
Packaging is a great mechanism to promote your property. You don't need to discount your room rates, or spend a lot of money to advertise it – you just need to create an interesting and attractive package and promote it for FREE through our sites.

To sign-up, click and complete: HotNY Deals and Packages Program.

To get started setting-up your Hot Deals, Click Here for Hot Deals "How To" instructions.
