Online Booking Barriers A lack of understanding or knowledge of options available
The perception that booking systems are too complex and time consuming
The need for flexibility to personalise or customise the system to their customer and business needs
The perception that booking systems are too expensive in implementation, running costs and commissions
Some regional areas made reference to instances of poor internet connection and technology barriers
Themes common across all sectors of the industry, more prevalent in businesses managed by people over 56 years of age

Prioritise components of your Digital strategy
Prioritse channels that are important for your business
Consider the strengths of each Channel – how do they relate to your strategy and objectives (some may combine multiple platforms )
Determine content for desktop, mobile & tablet
Determine how you are going to measure success of digital strategy (Measure, analyse, optimise)
