THE YEAR OF DIRECT BOOKINGS

You’re not just a host; you’re a business owner.

With an increased supply of STRs and the cost of living crisis, 2023 is the year of protecting margins. While Online Travel Agencies (OTA’s) such as AirBnB and VRBO can provide greater access to global customers, they keep a hefty chunk for their own profit (15-25 percent). Having a direct booking strategy is crucial and allows for a win/win for both owner and guest. With our Facebook page increasing reach by 267% in Feb alone, 2023 is shaping up to be our year of increased exposure and direct bookings!
