A great initiative from Failte Ireland for visitor attractions, activity providers and day tours, the Digital That Delivers Programme closes for applications this coming Thursday (29th February 2024) so get on it!
“Digital that Delivers is a ground-breaking initiative from Fáilte Ireland, designed to power digital transformation for the visitor experiences sector (visitor attractions, activity providers and day tours). The programme runs over the course of two years and provides participating businesses with training, expert advice and financial supports to launch key digital projects, develop digital skills and drive more sales online. “
Since launching EcoActive back in 2013 one of the main stumbling blocks in linking live listings and availability for ecofriendly businesses across the island of Ireland has been the lack of a linked up strategy bringing all suppliers together on one compatible booking engine that can embed or connect live availability for tours / experiences / events / activities with resellers, booking agents and travel agencies.
We can integrate with you using the Approved Bókun booking software – (Save 50% for 3 months here ) so if you do go ahead with the Digital That Delivers Programme and find yourself using Bókun make sure to find us in the Bókun Marketplace and connect.
