Summerstar Tourist Parks Integration
List your tours with Summerstar Tourist Parks and achieve a wider market reach. TicketingHub can help you connect.
Selling experiences where WA travellers actually stay
Western Australia's holiday traffic does not move through big city hotels alone — a huge share of it rolls between caravan parks and holiday parks along the coast and through the outback. Summerstar Tourist Parks sits at the heart of that traffic. For tour and activity operators in regional WA, being sold through Summerstar means reaching travellers at the very place they stop, unpack and start asking what there is to do nearby.
With TicketingHub's channel manager behind the connection, those bookings arrive in the same dashboard as your website and walk-up sales, drawn from the same live availability — so there is no double-booking and nothing to re-type.
What is Summerstar Tourist Parks?
Summerstar Tourist Parks is a family-owned business that has been welcoming travellers for more than 20 years. Its passion for serving guests goes hand in hand with promoting Western Australia as a destination, and its parks sit in some of the state's most picturesque locations:
- Broome Caravan Park in the Kimberley
- Walpole, on the shores of the Nornalup-Walpole Inlet
- Tom Price, nestled at the base of Mount Nameless in the Pilbara
- Horrocks and Jurien Bay, with views over the sparkling Coral Coast
- Esperance Bay Holiday Park on the south coast
- Geraldton and Margaret River, each within walking distance of town
Together the parks host families, road-trippers and working travellers year-round — an audience that is already in-destination and actively looking for things to do. Through the integration, tour operators around Australia can sell their tours and experiences on Summerstar's storefronts, reaching guests at the point of stay and lifting brand visibility along some of WA's busiest self-drive routes.
How the integration works
TicketingHub connects Summerstar as a sales channel through its channel manager:
- Live availability — the channel sells from your real-time calendar, so every space it offers genuinely exists.
- One dashboard — channel bookings land alongside your online, in-person and other third-party sales in a single Orders view and manifest.
- No overbooking — when a departure fills anywhere, it closes everywhere at once.
- No re-keying — guest details flow through automatically.
In other words, you get OTA-style distribution and your booking software working as one system, rather than juggling separate tools.
Who benefits most
Operators near a Summerstar park
If you run tours, hire equipment or operate an attraction near Broome, Esperance, Margaret River, Jurien Bay or any of the park locations, Summerstar guests are quite literally sleeping next door. A listing turns that proximity into bookings.
Experiences built for road-trippers and families
Park guests skew towards self-drive travellers and families on multi-stop itineraries. Experiences that suit them — wildlife encounters, fishing charters, four-wheel-drive tours, snorkelling trips, family-friendly attractions — fit this channel naturally.
Regional operators who cannot rely on walk-in traffic
In regional WA there is no crowd of passing tourists outside your door. Distribution through the places travellers actually stay is one of the few reliable ways to be discovered — and with the channel manager, it costs you no extra administration. Because the parks sit along established self-drive routes, a single listing can also reach the same traveller at several stops on their journey.
Getting connected
Contact your TicketingHub account manager or support to have the Summerstar channel enabled. On the dashboard side the pattern is the standard reseller flow: add a wholesale rate to the products you want distributed, create a reseller profile, then create a channel containing those products. We will help you verify the connection with a test booking, which should appear in your Orders list tagged with the reseller name — once it does, the channel is live and every subsequent booking flows in the same way.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be based in Western Australia?
The channel's audience is travellers staying in WA parks, so it fits operators with experiences in or near those locations best. If you operate elsewhere, one of our other channel integrations is likely a better match.
How do Summerstar bookings reach me?
Automatically. They arrive in your TicketingHub dashboard with guest details attached, appear on the day's manifest and are tagged with the channel name for reporting — exactly like a booking from your own website, just with a different origin label.
Can the channel oversell my capacity?
No. It sells from the same live availability as every other channel, and full departures close across all of them simultaneously.
Which products should I list?
You choose — a channel contains only the products you add to it. Experiences that suit park guests, such as family-friendly and outdoor activities, tend to perform best.
What does the channel cost?
Commercial terms are confirmed when the channel is enabled — ask our team for current details.
Why sell through parks instead of just an OTA?
The two do different jobs. Global OTAs reach travellers planning from home; a park network reaches them after arrival, when plans are loose and the next two days are still unbooked. Guests staying several nights in one park are especially valuable — they have time to fill and a reason to explore the local area. Many operators run both kinds of channel from the same TicketingHub calendar.
