Britain’s national tourism agency VisitBritain has partnered with FindsYou.com, the UK-based online ‘find engine’.

From April 2010, the FindsYou.com service will be available to VisitBritain users as part of the product search facility on the website www.visitbritain.com.

The new find engine allows accommodation seekers to post a ‘wanted’ advert on the site, outlining exactly what they are looking for. FindsYou.com then matches the request with suitable accommodation providers who are then able to contact the user directly.

For the first six months, accommodation providers are being offered the service completely free of charge.

“Our recent research shows that although the majority of people use the Internet to source accommodation, they’re increasingly disillusioned with faceless booking systems. The Findsyou.com service re-introduces the personal contact that most customers prefer,” said FindsYou.com CEO Guy Walker.
