Context and challenges of the Siblu.fr booking website
The tourism sector is particularly tied to the web. By adapting quickly to change and being one of the first to transform, the tourism industry has been able to reinvent itself in the digital format of e-tourism.

Building an intuitive and comprehensive online vacation booking website for Siblu Villages: the specs
The need for the Siblu Group to facilitate slot booking on the user side is a top priority. Indeed, in parallel with the development of digital formats in the booking market, the challenge for the brand is to know how to provide the right vacations, in the right place, at the right time in real time.
Some insights from the brief for this online booking platform:
- The Siblu sales teams collaborate around a CRM that will have to be linked to the platform
- The Siblu showcase site is not destined to become a web booking engine; the platform will have to be built in parallel and linked to the various online web products (showcase site, translated sites. ..)
- The siblu.fr site records between 250 and 400,000 visits per month depending on the season; the platform will have to meet the availability and quality stakes of high-traffic domains

The mutual trust between Programisto and Siblu allowed the developers to evolve in a positive context. This context improved trust on the project, leading to a virtuous circle within the two teams.
