Northern Lights Igloo Resort is a one-of-a-kind winter resort in Lapland, Finland. There are 10 cozy houses with a glass roof, which allows enjoying aurora borealis lying in a warm bed. It also offers a bunch of amazing activities, like reindeer and husky rides, Santa Clause search, etc. for a holiday of a lifetime. The main category of guests are families with children.
The goal was to increase the number of bookings through the hotel website and achieve full occupancy. Northern Lights Igloo Resort aspires to provide services to their guests on the highest level and make them aware of all options at a restaurant, excursions, sauna, etc. Also, there is a plan to open a new resort complex, and a reliable system for managing bookings for all properties is required. It must instantly synchronize rates and availability with such OTAs as Booking.com
