Collaborating to build the best platform for the recreation industry

Written by Melanie | Jul 14, 2025 9:02:48 AM

On July 5th, it’s Collaboration Day, a moment to reflect on the value of working together for economic, social, and technological progress. Within the recreation industry, collaboration is also vital, both between teams within the park itself and between systems and external partners.

At Booking Experts, we believe that collaboration is the key to innovation. Together, we’re building the best platform for campsites and holiday parks.

The power of internal collaboration: All-in-one to-do module

A smoothly running organisation starts with strong collaboration between departments. That’s why our task module is an essential feature within the Booking Experts reservation system (BEX PMS). This module supports cooperation between reception, housekeeping, technical services, and back office, all from one central system.

Whether it’s assigning cleaning tasks after guest departures, reporting (technical) faults, processing deposit payments, or resolving breakdowns: through the task module, teams collaborate efficiently, and all actions are transparent and traceable for everyone.

Are you working with an external party but prefer not to share all data? No problem. You can easily set access rights per team, ensuring that external service providers become a safe and effective part of the process.

“I would recommend Booking Experts because if you want to be the best, you have to collaborate with the best.”

— Lex de Groot, General Manager at Vakantiepark BreeBronne

The power of external collaboration: App Store for recreation businesses

In addition to internal processes, we are fully committed to external collaboration through our App Store. Thanks to our open API, developers and technology partners can build smart integrations that perfectly fit the Booking Experts platform. Think of connections with access control systems, revenue management software, guest communication tools, and more.

This way, every recreation business can configure the system entirely to its own needs and benefit from a flexible platform. Whether you're a customer seeking more automation or a developer wanting to reach a new audience, the App Store makes it possible.

Why collaborate via the Booking Experts App Store?

Open API – Connect your application with a single integration to hundreds of recreation businesses at home and abroad.

Open access for users – Every Booking Experts user can find and activate your app.

Demo environment – Test your app using realistic data in a secure sandbox, identical to production.

Fast validation – Publish your app after a short and clear review process.

Marketing support – Together, we increase your visibility among our users.

“How all the connections between the different systems in the PMS are integrated is just amazing. Everything can be managed and controlled centrally.”

- Henry Icks, former assistant park manager at Wilsumer Berge
