It's a pretty tough time out there at the moment for property managers, property owners and staff having lost significant income to enforced cancellations outside their control.

All Genkan users will be able to offer from September 1, an extension to their existing terms and conditions that covers the complete cost in the event of unforeseen circumstances and refunds the guests.

Interested in handing over the pain of cancellations, guaranteeing your income and well as that of your owners?

I am pleased to announce the launch of WelcomeInn. The major point of difference that WelcomeInn overs other similar products is that WelcomeInn connects directly to any property management system through an API this allowing surveys to be completed, the system knowing who the guest is with the welcome screen and bookings able to be taken.

Just thought I would share some information with you which i think is a pretty good barometer of Australian Tourism at the moment.

My Genkan software which has users across Australia records that April 2020 bookings were 16% of what they were in April 2019. Not enough to cover wages even with Gov subsidies.

However, the past couple of days has seen a change with a doubling of the April average. People are booking accommodation again. This is a great indication of the public's increasing confidence of a return soon to normal life.

Here in Thredbo we have broken a 6 week drought of zero bookings. Since the first May, we have had 7 bookings for the upcoming winter season AND all direct. No OTA's which is a vibe I am hearing elsewhere.

Download the COVIDSafe app, get onboard the bandwagon of recovery because if we all work together we will come out of this very soon.

Great wording if you have someone complaining about cancellation fees

“These charges, which are outlined in our standard terms and conditions, reflect the fact that our people have performed the service requested of them in booking products for customers and the significant time involved in the processing and securing refunds "

“If customers request a refund, charges do normally apply, although they are being waived or reduced in some cases.”

Common sense, travellers should have travel insurance anyhow and if they have paid by credit card their card normally carries some insurance for such events anyhow, accommodation houses are struggling over this

A very true comment from Laurence “L.T.” A. Tosi, the former chief financial officer of Airbnb to come out of the SKIFT conference in NY these past days..

“This is a real estate business sitting next to a technology business, and you have to be good at both"

YesBookit user Narooma Holidays have enjoyed a seamless transition to Genkan. Narooma, a long term Yesbookit user, went live July 1 following their decision to change systems in June. Genkan for their part and a new process, extracted all the YBI information for a complete on-boarding which minimised setup and changeover time. All historical booking and guest information was retained. Genkan Creative built a new wordpress website for the company.
