Why Choose Gast?

Compared to "multi-purpose" themes, Gast is highly specialized. It includes iCal synchronization, which allows you to sync your website bookings with external platforms like Airbnb, Booking.com, and TripAdvisor to avoid double bookings.

Note: If you are purchasing this theme, ensure you are buying from an authorized source like the developer's site (Nitin Prakash) or a reputable marketplace to receive the automatic updates and the "premium" support license.
