Dear customer, partner and colleagues,

This month we are presenting some important updates about Cultuzz once again, as well as additional sales opportunities.

The summer travel season is around the corner. Many people will take a spontaneous vacation, seeking to enjoy a relaxing getaway. With eBay summer vouchers you can invite this group of travellers into your hotel. Last minute offers on eBay also provide an opportunity to specifically and flexibly manage your occupancy rate. eBay is still growing in importance, particularly for German hotels. This is shown by the increasing number of offers and the statistic on the most important booking portals made by CHD Expert.

We will also be updating you with exciting reports on our CultSwitch channel manager and our office in India.

Enjoy reading this newsletter and please feel free to email us at marketing@cultuzz.com in case you have any questions or need a feedback.

Best regards,



Hannes Waschow

  eBay Summer Special

The summer months are a real challenge to some hotels with regards to occupancy. For such hotels eBay provides an excellent platform to prevent a complete revenue slump. An eBay voucher for this purpose would be redeemable only during the period defined by you. This way, you will be carrying out an intensive online marketing campaign, using last minute offers that are only valid during the summer months.

Our team will gladly assist you in putting together a package that can help you to maximize your occupancy. Please contact us today at marketin@cultuzz.com
