Challenge

From an online travel guide to a complete booking platform

My Curaçao Guide wanted to do more than inspire travellers: it also wanted to enable them to book activities and tours directly. This required multiple external booking platforms, including Peek and FareHarbor, to be brought together within one user-friendly website.
 
The platform serves international tourists from markets including the United States and Europe, making a fast mobile experience essential. At the same time, the website needed to become more valuable to local providers and advertisers, improve its search visibility and capture valuable customer data.
 
The main challenges:
  • Integrate bookings from multiple external platforms
  • Develop a custom booking engine using Kooboo Commerce
  • Clearly present activities, restaurants, events and attractions
  • Display ratings and reviews through the Tripadvisor API
  • Optimise the mobile user experience
  • Increase conversion from inspiration to booking
  • Improve organic visibility and search rankings
  • Achieve a Lighthouse score of at least 80
  • Capture and enrich relevant customer data
  • Create a platform for both travellers and local providers

  • Integration with Peek and FareHarbor
  • Development of a booking engine using Kooboo Commerce
  • Integration of ratings and reviews through the Tripadvisor API
