Wotif.com announces partnership with yourbiz
Auckland – 7th April 2006, Wotif.com (www.wotif.com), New Zealand’s leading online accommodation website has announced a
partnership with yourbiz (www.yourbiz.co.nz), to provide an online accommodation resource for small to medium
businesses, (SMB’s).
yourbiz is an online resource for SMB’s providing information, business tools and access to products and services
specific to their needs, and Wotif.com New Zealand Manager, Tania Witheford, says that Wotif.com is an ideal partner for
the site.
“Typically small to medium businesses have tight travel budgets, they do not have the buying power to negotiate
corporate rates for accommodation. In fact the booker is often the traveller themselves.”
“Wotif.com’s link with yourbiz means we can help support those business owners who strive to find cost efficiencies in
their business,” she said.
“By using Wotif.com business travellers can book accommodation with great savings off the full rate, value add
inclusions, such as breakfast, restaurant vouchers or free parking. This makes an attractive proposition for business
owners, managers or sales reps needing to attend that important conference or seminar, but not wanting the accommodation
to break the bank!” Mrs Witheford said.
yourbiz was established by a group of entrepreneurs, who had not been able to easily source the full range of
information, business tools, products and services essential to establishing and maintaining a profitable and exciting
business.
According to yourbiz Manager, Angela Buckley, some of the information was out there, but finding it for these business
owners was more by accident than design.
“yourbiz has become a one-stop-shop for New Zealand businesses seeking information to help them whether they be in
start-up mode, or want to know more on how to grow their businesses.”
“With small to medium businesses in New Zealand accounting for over one third of New Zealand’s economic output, helping
these businesses prosper is vital to the economy,” Ms Buckley said.
“A key objective for us is to assist New Zealand businesses to save time and money by partnering with the best in the
business to deliver information, products and services. We are delighted to be partnering with Wotif.com to achieve this
goal,” she said.
Wotif.com has been operating in New Zealand for five years, it has a loyal database of New Zealand customers and has a
broad range of accommodation suppliers registered on the site.
