Go
As You Please Packages
BOOK IN
offers guests two travel options: Pre-booked or Go as you please. Pre-booked accomodation is recommended for guests during the peak tourism season,
or where they wish to make the most of limited time or when they have strong prefences for particular locations or hosts. Go as you please travel works on a voucher or pass system. The
guest purchases a pass or vouchers from their travel agent. While
on holiday, guests simply select a property from our BOOK
IN Directory then contact the host directly to make the
booking. Guests are required to advise hosts that payment is by
pass or voucher at the time of booking. Our Go as you please option
offers a flexible travel alternative for guests who do not wish
to be tied to a pre-booked itinerary.
All BOOK
IN Partners accept bookings from guests with BOOK
IN Passes and Vouchers (when they have vacancies).
