Scandinavian Guests?

OTA = Online Travel Agency, which means those sites that sell the booking and take the payment for you.

Scandinavian Guests?

Post by Paul Carmel »

Hi,

Here in Corsica there seems to be a lot of Scandinavian visitors but not to our property .......so does anyone know any sites that are aimed at Scandinavians which are also in English?

Cheers, PC

Hi Paul

The following are Danish sites.
I recommend ferieboligweb - even if the design is bad it seems to be the one with most visitors.

http://www.ferieforum.dk
http://SommerhusDanmark.dk
http://www.europaferie.dk
http://www.ferieboligudland.dk/
http://www.feriebolig.dk (agent)
http://sommerferie.nu
http://www.ferieboligweb.dk

good luck - let me help if you need a Danish text

Sites in Sweden

Post by janskov »

Sweden seems to have very different traditions.
I still have to find the first site where I can advertise.
There are sites in Norway, but I don't use them as it seems that my Norwegian guests find me via the Danish sites.
I may register here: http://www.boligutland.no

Good stuff, Jan.

Are there are any where you can advertise if you don't speak Danish, i.e. they do the translation for you?

Danish language.

You don't need to worry too much about Danish language. We are a small country that has learned, that you must manage at least one foreign language - and for most people that is English.
Potential guest will not take offence if you write everything in English.

Many thanks for that. I've just looked into ferieboligweb and it says that all ads are featured in English, German and Danish so the lack of a foreign language isn't a problem.

Price wise it doesn't look too bad at all. Particularly if it means reaching a whole new market for us!

One for the list... :wink:

I found this old thread: anything you would add two years later?
Thanks.

Might be worth a go. we seem to have quite a few Scandinavian skiers in the area, and there's even a couple of restaurants with a Swedish bias.

No, sorry. Still have no idea about how to get in touch with the Swedish market.
Danish and Norwegians find me through my own web site (the dot.com version which is hosted in Denmark).

And I am entering a general depression due to the fact that I get NO bookings at the moment from anybody.
