Please, Look before you Book!

Glenn Moore – Destination Broome

A small action from you could make a massive difference to Broome.

Broome is a small seasonal coastal country town that comes alive every year from April to October.

And every year travellers spend their hard earned booking holidays to our remote paradise, booking accommodation and tours prior to arriving in Broome, which is always recommended.

Our Broome Visitor Centre is a great way to plan, coordinate and book your perfect holiday, and will happily arrange a full itinerary to your personal specifications.

But generally these days it’s DIY via phone or computer.

With Broome as your destination you generally;

•Book flights
•Book accommodation
•Book activities & experiences

In that order.

Booking Platforms like Booking.com, Agoda, Expedia and the like charge 15-30% commission, or even more.

So we ask you to consider carefully before you book with them.

Scroll these Booking sites for price and comparison and once you’ve made your decision on where to stay and what to do, please visit their website and book direct.

That way 100% of your booking cost will be supporting local businesses, increasing their margins. That in turn filters money through the Broome economy and returns taxes to Australia rather than sending 15-30+% of what Broome businesses generate, off to some tax haven.

In time, it could even bring costs down.  Booking platforms are very easy upfront, but if something goes wrong, who would you rather be talking to trying to find a quick resolution?  Your hotel reception and local tour operator or some overseas Call centre?

Save yourself the drama, book local and maximise the benefit of your visit to Broome. In return we will go out of our way to make things easy to fix if things don’t go quite to plan.

We too would much rather be dealing with you direct, rather than directing you to whoever made the booking on your behalf.

Because, these Booking Agents are paying the hotel or tour operators, all instructions need to come from them not you.
Please book direct, or Book locally and we will ensure you have a relaxing and enjoyable visit.

We always guarantee you a warm welcome to Broome and hope to see you here very soon.
