Advantages of Joining Hostelling International
What we can offer:
* · Access to the Hihostels.com booking engine. (Averages 42,000 unique visitors per day).
* · Greater chance of obtaining business online as you are not competing with numerous other units in each city/country.Only HI hostels are listed.
For example - London. Hihostels.com - 7 hostels.
Hostelworld - 148+,
Hostelbbookers - 67+ ,
Hostelclub- 56.
(Based on a search for the 26th November 2010). Obviously a combination of trusted brand and just a few hostels increases the chance of a booking.

Eventually we envisage providing a Website for the South African Hostels - we have done one for Cuba and working on for our colleagues in Libya. We would potentially use a similar template to create a website specifically for the hostels in South Africa. This will carry an embedded version of www.hostels.com just to make bookings for the SA hostels.
