www.stayin.town has been created by Bed and Breakfast owners who are tired of being charged commissions and their clients being charged booking fees by the Online Travel Agents.
These companies are now so big, most Bed and Breakfast owners wonder if they are really self employed or actually working for them, on average the OTA's charge 15% commission, in effect ripping around 50% from the B&B's profits!
What www.stayin.town has created is a platform where Bed and Breakfasts can register their properties for free, promote their accommodation in a totally proffessional manner with support and training provided by the stayin.town team and update their Real Time Availability using ical and xml connectivity.
A platform that will enable the B&B owners to work together as a community.
www.stayin.town needs to register thousands of B&B's in 2017 to make this work, so that by the middle to end of 2017 it will be a meaningful competitor to the travel giants and an invaluable tool for travellers.
To fund www.stayin.town we will ask eveyone you joins as an accommodation owner or a traveller if they would like to make a Donation to what is in effect "Your Portal"
This money will ALL be re-invested in technology and support.
Accommodation owners and travellers will also be asked to make donations after they have booked or stayed at one of the B&B's listed within stayin.town.
www.stayin.town has also created software and e-learning programs for the B&B owners, software that is best in class both in it's low price and it's quality.
These products will also help fund the project and can be seen at
www.stayin.software and www.stayin.education
Thank you for taking the time to understand more about www.stayin.town and the BIG IDEA's Yvonne, Leon, Ivan and myself have.
Best regards
Steve.
