Owner Holidays listing site

OTA = Online Travel Agency, which means those sites that sell the booking and take the payment for you.

Owner Holidays listing site

Post by Nemo »

Nigel, a member of this forum, has started a new listing site called Owner Holidays.

Early days for it, but hopefully worth us all investing a bit of time entering our properties as it's currently free to list for it's first year.

www.ownerholidays.com

There's also a thread running in the owner to owner section, where more discussion is taking place. viewtopic.php?t=26755

From that thread here's his quote:
Nigel Goodwin wrote: The concept is that it would be:
  • purely a listing site, not a booking site
  • for owners and small or medium size agencies
  • can be used with or without a third party booking system
  • has iCals and more integrations with booking systems
  • has a flexible pricing model
The basic functionality, including iCals integration, is complete.

The business model is I want it to be cooperative and collaborative and commercial. I will have more news on the business model later, but the idea is to have a wide spread of equity ownership.

Most income or equity revenue would be directed at marketing costs.

At present, all listings will be free for at least the first year.
