Site Structure
The Accommodation Promotion Services site is constructed with the traveller in mind. Our URL's (website addresses) focus on the exact business we are in

Many overseas visitors when first thinking of booking a holiday to Australia may know the names of our main centres but not where they are in relation to one another. With our Home Page they will enter the site at a page that has a complete Australia map with mouse over options for each region. These options let them visit a region and take a more in depth look into the type of stays, accommodation and activities on offer. They can click onto other centres within the region to find out even more in depth information.

Region Pages
These are State pages upon which the Area Pages in the State are listed and the attractions of the State are described. These "Region" Pages are also registered with search engines and Directories.

Area Pages
These Area pages are a great way to get free advertising for your district and another way guests can find you as we register these pages with search engines and directories too. The information for these pages is supplied by our hosts themselves. Afterall, they live there, they know all the best places to visit, who the best person is to take guests on a tour.

Maps again are an important feature, not only is there a Australia Map but an enlarged map of the region with a major focus on towns and roads.

We also limit the number of hosts listed on each Area Page. This provides a choice for prospective guests but does not swamp Hosts, in any given area, with competition

The more area pages there are, the more information we are able to give visitors to our Accommodation Promotion Services website.

Tourist related businesses are also able to advertise on these area pages. For rates please contact us at info@australianhomestay.com

Hosts Pages
Each host has their own dedicated page with a header reflecting an overall view of their home, a welcome and photograph of themselves. There can be up to 5 images (photos or maps). Each page now has its own personal touch and individuality.

The Australia map also appears again here with highlights and more detailed information from the region in which the host lives.

A quick reference chart appears at the bottom of every page with easy reference to information like bed numbers, bathrooms, dinner provided and tariffs etc. This information appears in the same place and in the same format on every page as we want to make life as easy as possible for guests who wish to book their whole Australia experience from our Accommodation Promotion Services site.

They are then able to book directly with the hosts. Real time availability is checked by the web site. Once tariff and availability are accepted by the guests they are able to immediately obtain a confirmed booking on payment of a "non-refundable booking fee". The transaction is then complete.

All hosts automatically appear in rotation as a feature stay on the main Accommodation Promotion Services home page and their respective Area Page.
