SocialBooker™ “Plus-U” is primed to help Facebook drive value from its recent Instagram acquisition and future purchases in the social-mobile space. With online travel bookings projected to grow twice as fast as the total market, surpassing $313 billion by 2012 according to the World Travel & Tourism Council, social bookings for hotels are poised to be a multi-billion dollar marketplace.

SocialBooker™ “Plus-U” will allow Facebook users booking travel for groups of friends to reap considerable rewards. The platform’s Social Distribution System™ (SDS) provides access to more than 25,000 hotels worldwide and operates on an advanced suite of analytics and reporting. Appnostic is now developing a qualification program for FB users who heavily influence travel planning decisions. Qualifying SocialBooker™ ‘travel consultants’ will be positioned as trusted influencers within their social groups. Working with hotel supplier partners, SocialBooker™ “Plus-U” will ultimately distribute 8 – 12% commissions on Appnostic negotiated rates when travel is booked through a consultant’s FB page. FB users can also share, plan and book their trips as a group based on similar interests, and enjoy exclusive offers targeted to FB friends and families.
