"Montego Sands Resort has only been active with Total Travel for a short time, but WOW, have they made a real difference to the profile of our Resort and the growth in our bookings. Dan Roman, our Account Manager, is an industry professional, who really knows our business profile and target demographic. He put together a great package at a very cost effective price which includes the basic listing, Hot Deals banners and Ninemsn exposure. Dan is ably assisted by a wonderful IT Help Desk, and for someone not really savvy on all the techo stuff, they guide me all the way when loading up our profiles. They are the real deal and ' Totally Travel ' (pardon the pun). Statistics off our website confirm the success of our Total Travel Program, they now are listed 2nd at 25%, just 2% behind Google on top at 27%, in the Top 20 Origins of visitors to our website. "

"totaltravel.com approached the business a few years ago. Over the past two years they have developed and created three fantastic websites and a complex emailing system. I have always been extremely satisfied with the work they carry out. totaltravel.com is efficient, professional but personal, always friendly and knowledgeable. The staff at total travel are very helpful and the designers so easy to work with. It is without a doubt that using total travel has helped create and determine the brand and more important is that the websites are well received and produce more custom. I would highly recommend total travel and look forward to working with them in the future. "
– Jules Devlin
"I would just like to say 'thank you' to you for your wonderful site! Most of our business comes from TT these days and it seems to be beating the other web sites hands down. We are very grateful for all the work you put into designing/maintaining your site and keepng it to the forefront of visability."
– Karyl & Henry Zawartowski
"As per our phone conversation thank you for the free trial. The enquiry has been excellent and I wish I had found your site 6 months ago. We are getting plenty of hits and the contact rate is MUCH higher than the site we are currently on, although that site is sponsored by the local newspaper and doesn't attract as many enquiries."
– Bob Brunton
"The totaltravel.com team are to be congratulated on the personal attention they give new business owners like ourselves. Thank you to everyone for helping us in the early setting up. Anglesea Heights Luxury Apartments have had a success rate of 80% totaltravel.com guests!"
– Anne McGuire
"Our business has increased 200% since we came on board with totaltravel.com with nearly 80% of our total business now coming from totaltravel.com! Recently, each weekend we have to turn away on average 35 people, so we are buying another vehicle cope with the demand. Our customers regularly come back and check out our totaltravel.com advertising feature for new special offers and discounts, so we keep our info fresh and up to date.
"Your website has done wonders for my business and it all seems to be working well with our site at the moment. We are up to our necks in a late grape harvest and then into olives so I find I have little time to go in and work out all this technology! All I know is that since I have joined totaltravel.com I have increased my bookings heaps so keep up the good work you guys!"
– Jan Walsh
"Our website (that totaltravel.com built) is doing just great and we have had emails and comments on how good and easy to use it is. We are very happy that we chose your company to handle our business and would recommend to anybody!"

"May I congratulate you and your team on winning of the 'Best Tourism/Travel Website in Australia' Award. It was well deserved!!!! A large part of our business comes from internet bookings and we have always linked with a number of search engines and listed on a range of accommodation websites. But after listing with totaltravel.com we experienced a most gratifying surge in hits and bookings. Clients can search, select and book their accommodation online saving time and hassles. Your site is so well known - we receive bookings from around the world. Well done!!!"
– Guat
"I'm not surprised your site won the award (NetGuide "Best Travel/Tourism Website in Australia 2005"). It's so well set up and easy to follow, but mainly it gets such a lot of response.

"Congratulations! Well done. And thank you! While impossible to measure actual number of bookings, we can confidently say that since we started advertising with totaltravel.com we have definitely seen an increase in traffic to our site and electronic booking inquiries. Thanks again!
"I thought it was an appropriate time to tell you and all the other folk at totaltravel.com how pleased we are with everything that you've done for us here at Luxury Afloat Noosa. From designing our website, to getting us high up on the search engines, to getting us maximum exposure to customers, it has all been done efficiently, on time and at a fair price. Nothing is too much trouble and all our encounters with you have left us feeling that you actually care about how well our business is doing. The service is indeed personal. You don't do 'hard sell' but you do tell us about ways to get the maximum exposure for our dollar."

"Thank you for your suggestions on how to improve our ‘total exposure' to Internet travel users. Within last 2 years I have experienced quite an increase in our bookings thanks to your advertisement. It is flexible, it works and is instantly updateable and we get a large number of enquiries daily. Generally from 4 enquiries we finalize at least 1 or 2. Presently, 90% of our bookings come from Internet advertising and I have to say that we are only linked with 2 other advertising companies, but most of our enquiries are finalised thanks to Totaltravel. I personally believe that Internet advertisements to be much more efficient and stronger in any business but in the travel industry they are a must, and hard copy advertising seems to be a product of past. Most of today's travellers use information via the Internet so I fully recommend your services to any new business in the tourism industry. Top Slots are a great idea and I thank you for it.
– Daniela Orelova
"We have a number of websites with Totaltravel and I just wanted to let you know that, ever since we joined, we have been really happy with the service we are getting from the Totaltravel. David has been exceptional with us from the very start and continues to be a great support whenever we call him. Also, Anna has been fantastic in working with me to make a number of our websites the way we want and visualize to be. Nothing is too much trouble and she is always polite and prompt. Keep up the good work, they are both an asset to totaltravel.com

"Out of all the advertising money we've spent this year, TotalTravel has been the only one to get us results."
– Southern Cross Apartments
"You and your TotalTravel site are superstars! The experience of using totaltravel.com has been sensational. I made more profit from the one UK booking than it cost me to hook up with TT for a year. I can honestly say that I have never seen a return on investment (proportionally) in my 20+ years of marketing. Your ability to communicate effectively and follow up has further complimented and enhanced and enabled me to capitalise on the site. I can tell you that in the 4 weeks since I added the special to my page, I receive an average of around 2 confirmed bookings a week - heaps of visits to my site and other direct enquiry. I have taken bookings from Melbourne - Canberra &NSW and last night confirmed 5 nights for 6 people from London."
– Stu Duncan - Troopers Camp
"Thanks for your phone call today, we will subscribe to your e-guide at once. We knew we were onto something great within days of trying your free trial. Bookings began rolling in, by well informed customers. The information that the customers had found for themselves obviously had come from our own website.... which they had been directed to by your fantastic website.
We have paid hundreds of dollars in advertising with various marketing firms this year. To date, we have had not even one single inquiry from said advertising. With business re-directed to our website from your website during the free trial period, we have had so much business that it more than pays for an annual subscription. Keep up the excellent work. Many thanks!"
