From the traveller’s need to direct contact.

Before they leave, APULIA suggests places that match what the traveller is looking for. Once there, it also shows them what is around them, using their location. Yours can be one of them.

1Get your business discovered.Your listing appears in Explore and on the map, with your photos, services and practical information. A traveller passing nearby sees it around them.
2Be suggested at the right moment.A traveller asks the Chat for a family restaurant, a place to stay or an activity. With Pro Area, your business can be recommended if your offer matches. Not a random ad: an answer to what they are looking for.
3Turn interest into contact.The traveller contacts you directly, through the channels you offer. You set your terms and prices, and you confirm every booking yourself.

APULIA makes the introduction. The business relationship stays between you and your guest.

Your listing and your tools. And what you get out of them.

Start with your free listing. Add Pro Area when you want to go further.

Your next guest may not speak your language. You can still understand each other.

A German family is arriving late. A French couple has a question. An Italian traveller wants to plan their arrival. The traveller writes in their language, you read the message in yours, reply naturally, and APULIA translates your answer.

  • Your assistant answers the usual questions: how to get there, opening hours, services.
  • You take over when a personal answer is needed.
  • You always decide: you confirm bookings yourself.
  • The result: less time repeating the same explanations, and easier exchanges with your foreign guests.

A listing recommended by APULIA: a restaurant in Gallipoli

Your future guests ask APULIA their questions. Your business can be the answer.

“We’re in Polignano a Mare with two children. Where can we eat tonight?” “A quiet masseria near Ostuni?” “A boat trip tomorrow around Monopoli?” These are real needs, at the very moment the traveller is about to choose.

  • With Pro Area, your business can be suggested in the Chat’s answers when it matches what the traveller is looking for.
  • They discover your listing, tap “Go there” or contact you directly.
  • Recommendations depend on how relevant your offer is, with no guarantee of ranking or bookings.

Not a line in a catalogue. The answer they were looking for.

More than a listing: a tool for your business.

You don’t pay APULIA for every booking. You simply choose the tools that help your business grow.

01More chances to be discoveredOn top of Explore, your business can be recommended by the Chat, marked “Partner”. No guarantee of ranking or bookings.
02Fewer repetitive questionsYour assistant tells travellers about your services, opening hours, access and everything you give it.
03Foreign guests made easierMessages are translated into French, Italian, English and German, both ways.
04A relationship that stays directYou talk with your guests, set your terms and confirm bookings yourself.
05A sample stay that starts from your placeTo send to your future guests, so they can plan their visit.
06Travellers who came through youIn “My listing”, you see how many travellers arrived through your QR code.

One programme: the APULIA Partner Programme.

Picture a traveller who has just arrived at your place. They want to know which beach to choose depending on the wind, where to have dinner tonight, what to visit tomorrow, where to park. Instead of explaining everything yourself, you give them APULIA. It all comes in three parts.

1Your listingFreeYour photos, services and prices in Explore and on the map. Online as soon as you submit it.
2Your QR codeFreeA single QR code, in the room, on the table or in your welcome message, even before arrival. Your guests get APULIA Pro free for 14 days, “offered by” your business: today’s beach depending on the wind, restaurants open tonight, festivals nearby, where to park. And you see how many travellers came through you.
3Your assistantPro Area: €7.90 / month (private host) or €14.90 (business)It answers your guests day and night in French, Italian, English and German, your messages are translated, and you can be recommended by the Chat, marked “Partner”.
Your businessScan and enjoy Puglia with APULIA, free for 14 daysExample of an APULIA QR codeAPULIA Partner Programme
  • Your QR code gives your guests APULIA Pro for 14 days: up to 5, 10 or 40 travellers a month, depending on your plan.
  • For your guests: a local guide in their pocket during their stay, offered by you. If they stay longer, they can carry on with APULIA Pro.
  • For you: an extra touch that improves your welcome, better-informed travellers and fewer repetitive questions.
  • The best business contact is the one who remembers you after their stay. With your profile on APULIA, they can find you again.

A local ecosystem, where everyone helps the others get known.

A traveller shares their stay, and their friends discover your masseria. You give APULIA to your guests, and they go home telling everyone about their holiday. Here, your best advertising is the people who stay with you.

3Your QR code turns your guests into tomorrow’s ambassadors, and they talk to you directly

01Your listing travels with themA traveller adds your listing to their trip, then shares it: with the people travelling with them, with friends, in a group to get opinions. Your business is passed from hand to hand, in front of new travellers. Without you lifting a finger.
02Local pros send each other guestsYour QR code introduces your guests to APULIA. Once there, they also find the restaurant next door, the boat trip, the bike rental. And other businesses’ guests discover you in turn. Everyone works for themselves, and everyone gets known together.
03What you earn stays with youThe traveller writes to you in their language, you reply in yours. No one in between, no APULIA commission on your booking. And the more the community grows, the more travellers the Chat can send you.

More travellers bring more pros. More pros bring more travellers. And the whole region benefits.

Keep using your platforms. And grow your direct relationship too.

Booking, Airbnb and the others can remain important channels for you. APULIA brings you something else: an extra local presence, direct contacts and tools to look after your guests better.

APULIA doesn’t ask you to choose between your platforms and direct contact. You grow both.

How much do the platforms cost you?

The visibility of a platform. The margins of your own website. Do the maths with your own figures.

What the platforms take from you each year–
What you get back if 1 booking in 5 goes direct–
What you keep on top, subscription paid–

Starting values for accommodation: a typical entire home in Puglia, €95 a night, 4-night stays and 30 bookings a year, about 120 nights let, in line with the regional average. Enter your own figures. Indicative simulation: APULIA does not guarantee any number of bookings.

Your listing is free.Online as soon as you submit it, in 4 languages, with no obligation to subscribe.
The direct link.The traveller writes to you in their language, and you confirm every booking.
