The visitor will not dial your number
Calling a Zambian line from abroad costs money and takes a format they are unsure of, so many simply will not. A message costs them nothing and works the moment they find wifi.
- A WhatsApp button that opens a chat with you
- Your own page with its own web address
Most of it is decided before they land
Activities, transfers, food and crafts are largely chosen in advance from photos by somebody not yet in the country. Your listing is what they are choosing between.
- Photos of your goods, your shop or your work
- Customers can leave a rating and a review
- A real page search engines can read, not a photo in a group
The falls have a season and it is not December
The water is at its most spectacular after the rains and the dry months bring their own kind of visitor, so the town runs two peaks and a quiet stretch between them. Both peaks are booked weeks ahead by people still at home comparing options. Being listed during the quiet weeks is how you are in the next one.
