Vacation rentals and B&Bs: your house, your app, your guests

Your house works for everyone — except you. The listing lives on Airbnb or Booking, the house manual is a PDF printed at check-in, the wifi code arrives by chat, the restaurant tips by message. Meanwhile the platform keeps 15-18% in commissions and, above all, keeps the guest: next year they’ll search the same platform, not you.

If you run a vacation rental, a B&B or a farmhouse stay, your job is exactly this: make the stay simple, welcoming, memorable. With tools built to keep guests inside someone else’s app.

Your house deserves a home of its own. It deserves an app of its own.

A scattered experience vs an app that travels with your guest

A PDF gets printed and lost. A chat message scrolls away. A guide in your house’s app keeps informing, suggesting and converting months later — the same work, done once, on a schedule no algorithm can touch.

With Tourismee your home has two floors: Horizon, your app — a Progressive Web App installable straight from the browser in one tap, without app stores — and your mini-site with automatic SEO, so your house keeps being found on search engines while the app builds the direct relationship with your guests.

Your name, your logo, your colors. People find you because they’re looking for your house, not because a feed decided so.

Horizon Studio: your house’s editorial office

Horizon Studio is a real editor, built for publishing:

• featured images, drafts and immediate publishing for every article;
• automatic tags and an author profile for every contributor;
• badges like Promo, New, Hot and Free that make the value visible at first glance;
• call-to-action buttons with your text, your prices and your links on every post;
• views, likes and a share button on every piece of content;
• an interface available in 13 languages, detected automatically from the reader’s browser.

No code, no developers: if you can manage a listing, you can run your house’s editorial office.

The digital house manual (and everything around it)

Check-in times, wifi, house rules, appliances, waste sorting: everything a guest asks becomes a piece of content that answers once for everyone. Around it, the territory: restaurants, beaches, trails, events — each with its badge and its call-to-action.

And the extras become revenue: late checkout, extra cleaning, crib, transfer, welcome basket. Every upsell is a piece of content in the app with your price, bookable in one tap, without commissions passing through anyone else.

Monetization that pays 100% to you

Here’s the part that matters. You sign up on your own to the affiliate programs you prefer — Booking, Viator, GetYourGuide and many others — and add your links in the configuration. Every booking generated by your recommendations pays commissions directly from the platforms to you, because Tourismee takes 0%: the model is a software subscription, not a cut of your earnings.

The money your guests were already spending — just elsewhere — starts flowing back to you, funding improvements to the house and the app itself.

An AI concierge that answers for you

The integrated AI concierge (Beta) answers your guests’ questions and can recommend services and experiences in chat, at any hour, in their language. Check-in at 3 pm, the wifi code, the best beach for kids: answered instantly, while you’re busy. And you can give it a name and a personality of your own, for a fully white-label experience.

Guests who come back, bookings that stay yours

Guests install the app from the browser before they arrive and keep it during the stay — instructions, tips, offers, everything under your brand. When they think of your house, they open your app, not a marketplace. And the next booking arrives direct, at zero commission.

Mini FAQ

Do I need to know how to code?
No. If you can manage a listing, you’re already operational. Online in about 30 minutes.

Does it replace my listing on Airbnb or Booking?
No. It works alongside them: the platforms keep bringing new guests, and your app turns every stay into a direct relationship — manual, tips and recommendations under your brand.

Can I keep the affiliate programs I already use?
Yes. You choose the programs, you add your links, and commissions are paid by the platforms directly to you: Tourismee takes 0%.

Does it work on iOS and Android?
Yes. Horizon is a PWA installable from the browser on both systems, without going through the app stores.

In short
