This week we begin a mini-series on connectivity: interviews with people helping tour operators grow their B2B partnerships through tech tools that connect with other industry sectors.
We start the series off looking at short term rentals. This is often a desired B2B relationship for tour operators, but one that's hard to decipher and connect with.
Our guests are Karen Piscitelli, Founder of Explorabout and Annie Holcombe of the channel manager NextPax. Karen is building a platform to allow property managers to tap into inventory of unique bookable experiences, and Annie is an expert in the connectivity landscape for the short term rental market.
We look at:
- how to understand the short term rental space
- strategies tour operators can use to creatively connect with property managers
- tech challenges in connecting properties to tours & activities
- working with OTAs like Airbnb vs. direct relationships with properties
- how Explorabout and Nextpax are thinking about channel management and
- the opportunity for designing tours in partnership with property managers
- opportunities in remote workers
