During the Covid19 pandemic the tourism industry in Germany has experienced an impressive boom. As a result, domestic hotels and especially camping sites were overwhelmed with booking requests. Due to traditional booking processes via phone or e-mail in many cases those requests could be hardly answered.

As a solution, we at Digiventus implemented an online booking solution especially for camping sites. It is productive since July 2021 and serves two purposes:

• Online display of campsite availability, based on local real-time data from the camping site management system
• Receiving bookings including all relevant data, as well as synchronisation with the management system.

The solution is based on .NET Core, Azure Functions, as well as a custom-made, reflection-driven database abstraction for Microsoft Access (client-specific). The web client was built with JavaScript and is embedded in Wordpress. New versions of the client and the backend are being rolled out via Azure DevOps continuously.
