What is the Marketplace? | Villard de Lans / Corrençon en Vercors Tourist Office

The Tourism Marketplace is an online purchasing channel integrated into the Villard/Corrençon destination website. It enables tourist offices to distribute and market the destination’s entire tourism offering by technically integrating the products and services of partner service providers (accommodation, activities, shops, services, etc.).

On the customer side, it offers visitors the possibility of purchasing several services at the same time, with a single payment.
On the merchant side, it guarantees the service provider autonomous management of his bookings (application of his own General Terms and Conditions of Sale) and direct payment for transactions.

Why join the Tourism Marketplace?

Our marketing tool is evolving. This year, 2022, marks the transition from a central reservation system to a marketplace model. Why should we do this?

– To make it easier for our visitors to make their purchases by creating multi-service baskets.
– To give you, the service provider, greater autonomy in the management, payment and distribution of your offer
– Enable us, the Reservations Department, to sell more effectively by focusing on the quality and promotion of our offer.

For the destination:

– Create an online booking platform for holidays and tourist services with real-time availability.
– Digitalising and increasing the visibility of tourism operators.
– Deploy a local distribution network.

The challenges of a Marketplace :

– Bringing together tourism operators and creating synergies
–Making the destination’s offer accessible to visitors
– Supporting service providers in their digital transformation
– Promoting the destination by highlighting the variety and quality of its services
