When you want to book a vacation for a romantic getaway or a trip with the family it now common practice to hop on the internet start search for hotels in your destination. While it is typically easy to locate a major resort like ‘Sandals’ online, it is a lot harder to find smaller mom and pop operations. For many the perfect vacation is not on a mega resort but at a small boutique hotel that gives visitors a flavor of the local via more intimate dwellings. Finding such travel gems is increasingly difficult online due to the fact that these smaller operations usually 6-10 bedroom establishments, can’t afford to build and maintain a robust online presence on their own.
