OBS is a Regensburg service company that runs online distribution for hosts and for entire destinations. It puts a property on the major booking portals and on the tourism websites of its partner regions, keeps the content and availability current in one place, and handles the resulting bookings in the host's name. There is no setup, training or membership fee; a commission falls due only once a guest has actually stayed.
Hosts keep their texts, pictures, prices and availability in the destination's maintenance system, feratel Deskline, or enter occupancy on the move in the myOBS app. OBS connects that record to Booking.com, Airbnb, FeWo-direkt and Expedia, can link a host's existing portal contracts into the same channel, and supplies a booking module or a complete website for direct bookings. A named adviser handles changes and guest communication, alongside a photo service, web seminars and performance reviews.
Owners of holiday flats, guesthouses and small hotels in Germany and Austria who want to be bookable everywhere without operating the portals themselves, and tourism organisations, over 100 of them so far, that want one partner to make their hosts bookable. A parallel offer covers activity providers.
