Australian Accommodation Providers...

STEP 1: Fill out this form and we will email your login details so you can add your Accommodation Listing ... 

About Us:
Blue Castle's focus is to better serve small/medium sized, independent accommodation providers in Australia. Like many Accommodation Providers, we are a family business and have been serving the Australasian Accommodation & Travel market since 2004. 

Our Mission: 
To revolutionize the accommodation and tourism industry by reducing the middle-man's cut to $0. So, when a 'Lifetime Member' of Blue Castle makes $500 from a stay, they keep $500 ... Guaranteed!

Our Goal is to:

1. Provide 'Lifetime Members' with a majority of their accommodation booking inquiries, at no cost to them, so they can pass on total service value to Guests.

2. Provide business and holiday travelers worldwide, with an easy, efficient & cost effective way to book Accommodation, Car Hire and Flights within Australia.

3. Make 'Blue Castle' the Top-Performing, Australian Accommodation & Travel site, whereby accommodation owners and seekers will be 'raving fans' of our service.

What kinds of people use our site?
We attract not only 'accommodation seekers' to our site, but also those searching for Australia car hire & cheap domestic / international flights. People searching for car hire and flights are also in the market for accommodation. Hence, we cast a very wide net to capture the most qualified leads interested in all forms of Accommodation.

Our feelings about the Online Accommodation & Tourism Industry ...
We see the small independent accommodation owners of Australia as being the back-bone of the industry. The owners and hosts of B&Bs, holiday homes, boutique hotels etc... are the ambassadors of Australia, kind enough to open their homes to host travelers from all around the world. 

The accommodation industry's lead-generation & booking process is becoming increasingly internet-based and automated. This means that less people are being used to process bookings, as evidenced by the reduction in Travel Agents. The resulting reduction in labour cost can result in: 

1. Savings being passed onto the accommodation owner, and / or
2. More profit for the middle-man. 

We are of the opinion that 'The Art of Good Business, is being a Fair Middle-man' ... and we think a LOSE : LOSE : WIN in favour of the middle man, is not good business. 

How You can help Blue Castle change the accommodation and tourism industry for the Better ...

   FACT: One Australia Accommodation Middle-man made over $90million revenue in 2008.

That's a lot of Accommodation Seekers money going to a single Middle-man. Further, these dealmakers fail to fairly represent the Small Independent Accommodation Providers, focusing primarily on 4 & 5 Star Hotels, Apartments & Resorts.

We think it's time to better represent the smaller independent accommodation providers. We want to ensure a greater share of Guests' money goes to those that Deliver the Accommodation Service, NOT some profit hungry middle-man.

Here's how Our 'Fair Trade' WIN:WIN:WIN system works:

Accommodation Owner: WIN

• Put a special link to Blue Castle, on your Accommodation Website and we will trade a Lifetime Membership. This is 'Fair Trade', as You'll never have to pay to be listed on Blue Castle ... plus, keep all the money you make ... no commissions / success fees ... ever!

• Lifetime Members don't have to increase rates to reflect middle-man marketing costs, commissions, success fees etc.

• Lifetime Members get more money in their pockets, able to deliver fairer value & service to the Guests. 

• If you fail to qualify for the Lifetime Membership, on the grounds that you don't have a website to link to us, you can take advantage of the 12 month free trial, normally worth $50 per annum.

Accommodation Seeker: WIN

• Guests' expectations are more easily met, as they get the Best Value for their stay as the (traditional) deal-makers fee of 10-25% commission / marketing component / success fee ... what ever you want to call it ... is passed to 'Blue Castle Lifetime Members'. 

Blue Castle: WIN

• Owners link to Blue Castle from their website, which means more people find Blue Castle via search engines - which means, more people make booking inquiries - which means, EVERYONE is happy ... 

What's in it for Blue Castle?
Because all Lifetime Members NEVER pay money for advertising on Blue Castle, many people are curious as to how we make a crust.

We earn commissions on 1)car hire, 2)airflights and 3)lastminute hotel reservations. So, we think there is no reason to further tax the small, independent accommodation owners like You. 

We offer a 12 Month Free Trial period. Over this time, Accommodation Owners can register for:

1. A 'Free Lifetime Membership' Accommodation Listing worth up to $150 per annum, in return for a special link on their website to Blue Castle, or

2. A Premium Listing, starting from $50 per annum, subject to our Risk Free Guarantee, insuring a positive return on investment with Blue Castle.

There are 4 Annual Premium Promotional Levels:

1. PLATINUM listing @ $200p.a. (ranked first with 24 photos max)
2. GOLD listing @ $150p.a. (ranked second with 12 photos max)
3. SILVER Listing @ $100p.a. (ranked third with 6 photos max)
4. BRONZE Listing @ $50p.a. (ranked fourth with 3 photos max)

Get Your FREE Lifetime Membership to Blue Castle - NO Commissions, NO Annual Fees, NO Money Down ... Just 'Fair Trade' Creating More Value for Independent Accommodation Owners & their Guests ... NOT the Greedy Middle-man.

We Look Forward to Working Together to Attract and Distribute more Value to the Real Service Providers, being the Small Independent Accommodation Owners of Australia.
