What is FairBookingUK?
In their words:
FairBookingUK is a campaign to encourage visitors to book directly with UK accommodation providers. Established by Cumbria Tourism, New Forest Tourism Partnership and Visit Cornwall with the backing of their technology partner New Vision Group.
In my words:
FairBookingUK has taken a page out of the multinational OTA booking sites handbook and convinced various tourism associations across the UK that a 10% UK based commission site is a more palatable alternative. Meanwhile accommodation and activity providers are still stuck paying out exorbitant commissions. Great news for the New Vision Group, not so good news for Mom and Pop's B&B.
In Conclusion:
Search on-line then take the time to book direct. An OTA will promise low or no fees but only you can guarantee it.
