When you list your activities on major OTAs - like GetYourGuide, Viator, Tripadvisor, or Civitatis - you open your doors to a global audience. But the challenge comes later: keeping your availability accurate, preventing double-bookings, and managing constant updates across multiple external platforms.
That’s exactly what the Bloowatch Channel Manager solves.
It connects your Bloowatch activities to 30+ OTAs and keeps your calendar perfectly synchronized in real time - so you can grow your reach without creating operational headaches.
Sell Everywhere, Manage in One Place
Surf schools, dive centers, kayak operations, and other outdoor activity providers often spend hours uploading listings, modifying schedules, changing descriptions, and reconciling bookings from multiple OTAs.
With the Bloowatch Channel Manager, you publish your activities once in Bloowatch - and they appear on the OTAs you choose. From there, Bloowatch automatically syncs availability and imports bookings back to your calendar.
Your OTA presence grows. Your workload does not.
Real-Time Availability Sync (The Core of It All)
Every time someone books a slot on any connected OTA, Bloowatch immediately:
- Reserves the correct number of seats
- Updates the remaining capacity
- Applies blocks or closures
- Ensures the slot shows as “Booked” everywhere
- Prevents conflicting bookings
This happens instantly across all channels, eliminating one of the biggest operational problems for activity providers: double-booking.
Whether you’re running surf lessons, guided diving sessions, rentals, or small-group adventures, your Bloowatch calendar remains the single source of truth - accurate everywhere, at all times.
Instant Booking Import to Your Bloowatch Calendar
Whenever a customer books through an OTA:
- The booking is imported automatically
- The slot is updated in your Bloowatch schedule
- Instructor and resource planning stays correct
- You can manage the participant as if they booked directly
There is no manual entry, and you never have to juggle multiple calendars.
Customers enjoy the speed of instant confirmation.
You enjoy the peace of mind of perfect alignment.
Publish Your Activities to Multiple OTAs at Once
The Channel Manager helps you grow visibility without the pain of multi-platform maintenance. You can:
- Publish selected activities
- Map them to the right OTA categories
- Upload the correct titles, highlights, and images
- Define meeting points and descriptions
- Update content fields per OTA (where supported)
- Edit or pause listings instantly
Once set, Bloowatch handles the heavy lifting - sending the right information to the right channels, consistently and reliably.
Pricing, Policies & Localization
Because each OTA supports different fields, Bloowatch allows you to control key settings per channel:
- Pricing fields and markups (when supported)
- Cancellation windows
- Meeting locations
- Languages and translated descriptions
- Important highlights
- Policy text
You maintain the flexibility to adapt your listings per marketplace, while still benefiting from centralized control.
Error Prevention & Operational Safety
One of the biggest risks of multi-OTA distribution is overselling.
Bloowatch solves this with multiple layers of protection:
- Slot-level capacity sync
- Real-time availability lock
- Immediate booking cancellation updates
- Blackout and closure push to OTAs
- Preventive conflict checks before publishing
- Audit trails for all imported modifications
If inventory changes in Bloowatch, it changes everywhere.
If a booking is canceled, your calendar adjusts immediately.
If a session is full, OTAs reflect it instantly.
The result: no double-bookings, no surprises, no lost revenue.
Why This Matters for Activity Providers
With customer demand increasingly coming from OTAs, activity operators need a distribution layer that is:
- Reliable
- Real-time
- Accurate
- Easy to use
- Integrated directly into their calendar
The Bloowatch Channel Manager delivers exactly that.
You expand your reach across the world’s top OTAs - while keeping the heart of your operation (your Bloowatch calendar) perfectly aligned.
