Dear ……
Thank you so much for taking my call and for your time earlier today.
I write to confirm that (property name) in Hartbeespoort has been selected and listed as a property with Avante Hospitality, a new channel launched with NightsBridge as Channel Manager to achieve one objective – increase bookings in and out of season.
Avante Hospitality, a registered OTA, showcases properties on a variety of branded platforms focusing on two key market segments as opposed to the open market – niche markets and closed user groups. All bookings are handled on behalf of clients without any upfront costs. The standard industry commission of 15% is applicable.
Avante’s niche market offering is fully integrated with NightsBridge that gives the latter’s clients access to Avante’s platforms focusing only on niche markets (wildlife, fishing, golfing, adventure, etc.)
The company’s second focus area is specifically designed and created for closed user groups i.e. membership and travel clubs, voucher programmes, NPOs, loyalty programmes and independent travel agencies.
Closed user group platforms are powered by Stock Network, a cutting-edge software programme for which Avante has the exclusive rights in Africa. The programme is developed to boost a property’s net bottom-line by maximizing occupancy throughout the year and especially when most needed during low periods.
Avante’s groundbreaking offering is a first for South Africa’s hospitality industry that focuses only on niche markets and closed user groups to increase bookings and revenue. At present only properties selected and listed by Avante are showcased on the company’s platform. These are:
Niche Markets
Take a break
A niche market designed for end-users looking for personalized holidays that match their hobbies and interests i.e golfing, fishing, wildlife, pet friendly etc.
Closed User Groups
Membership and Travel Clubs
- Avante offers membership opportunities to individuals for an annual or monthly fee, providing substantial savings on hospitality-related products and accommodations. Members also receive a credit (points/bucks/rands) for each transaction towards their Virtual Card, which can be used at participating properties and for other services offered by the Travel Club.
- Avante facilitates bookings for its membership groups through Avante Wealth (www.avantewealth.co.za)
Voucher Programmes

NPO's
Participating NPOs can join a closed user group (to appear as the only group) and offer their members exclusive, discounted rates. Additionally, the NPO earns a portion of the funds generated per transaction, incentivising them to grow their database and promote the system.
Loyalty Programmes
- Members of Loyalty Programs are included in a closed user group and receive exclusive, discounted rates. Additionally, they receive credit (points/bucks/rands) for each transaction towards their loyalty card (Virtual Card), which can be used at subscribing organizations.
- Avante has a number of loyalty programs powered by Stock Network.
