Mark Simpson has spent his whole life in hospitality, now a renowned author, award-winning mentor, and proud Boostly founder, he helps short terms rental hosts of all kinds globally to get more direct bookings, instead of relying on the Online Travel Agencies (OTAs).
Mark launched The Book Direct Playbook in February 2022, and he’s poured all his experience, learnings, insights, (and the odd soccer reference), to help property owners around the world finally regain control and turn their business into the champion of direct bookings.
It’s an incredible resource and Mark gave a totally inspiring talk at the Short-Term Rental (STR) Wealth Conference in Nashville (June 2022) about this key point – many STR hosts lost their businesses in the pandemic due to over reliance on the OTAS!
