LeisureKing & FareHarbor
The ideal reservation system for your recreation company
Will you choose an international mass platform or a system that knows your local market inside out? LeisureKing and FareHarbor both facilitate online bookings, but the conditions under which you do so are completely different. At LeisureKing, you won't find unpredictable variable costs, but transparency and direct lines of support in your own language. Below, we list the specific differences so you can immediately see the impact your choice will have on your margin and working methods. Not sure what suits your business? We're happy to help you decide!

Dutch company
LeisureKing is a Dutch company with extensive knowledge of the global leisure market. You will always receive support in your own language with short lines of communication, a dedicated team, and fast response times. The platform is developed and maintained locally. This ensures that the system seamlessly meets the needs of Dutch and Belgian leisure companies.Local and international connections
In addition to guests booking on your own website, LeisureKing also links directly to global platforms such as GetYourGuide and Viator, as well as well-known Dutch partners such as the ANWB. LeisureKing also allows you to collaborate with over 500 other recreation companies to sell each other's outings or create packages.Maximum cost per booking
The cost model is transparent and based on a percentage service fee per booking: for most packages, LeisureKing applies a fixed maximum service fee per reservation.Committed partner on site
LeisureKing was developed by people from the recreation industry and looks beyond just the technology. Personal contact is paramount. That is why you are assigned a permanent contact person who is familiar with your situation. If desired, this person will visit you on location to set up the software, provide explanations, and engage in strategic discussions.Easy to set up yourself
You have complete control over the system. Want to add a new activity, change prices, or adjust your inventory? You can do it yourself, wherever and whenever you want. Your new offer will be live within a few minutes.
International company
FareHarbor is a global player and part of Booking.com. You work with a standardized platform that is centrally controlled from international hubs. As a result, the services and development are focused on companies all over the world and less on specific local requirements.Links
FareHarbor focuses primarily on links to major global booking sites such as Viator and GetYourGuide. The system is designed to automatically place your offerings on these large platforms for broad international reach.Variable costs
FareHarbor charges a percentage service fee per booking: the amount of this fee varies directly with the price of the reservation, with no maximum amount.Remote support
The entire onboarding, training, and installation process takes place digitally via telephone and online appointments. There are no physical visits to your company. A general, centrally managed support desk is used via tickets and telephone. Only large companies with high turnover are assigned an account manager.Partially self-managed
To create a new activity, you must submit a request to the support team. They will technically set up the new activity for you in the system. You will manage the daily availability and existing bookings yourself.
No cure, no pay: you determine the course
At LeisureKing, we work on the basis of service fees per reservation. You are in control: you decide whether to bear these costs yourself or pass them on directly to your customer. This way, you always know exactly where you stand. This also makes LeisureKing ideal for seasonal businesses.
