Yeah.
This episode is brought to you by Avivo.
I've always believed that strong operations and the right technology foundations are critical if we want to professionalize and elevate the short-term rental industry globally.
Aviva supports independent hosts and professional property managers with an all-in-one platform that simplifies complexity and drives growth through automation and AI.
So where were you growing?
More units, more bookings, but quietly losing pricing power.
That's another thing.
Or control to the platforms as well, right?
I mean, the previous two topics, you and I could talk for hours and we're advocates for this industry.
In all our capacities, you being on the board of URMA, I'm on the board of SDAA, and we're super engaged.
And obviously, we need to focus on a few other topics.
But losing pricing and more rankings and power of control to the platforms is something that intrigues me as well to get to know.
So let's go a little bit deeper in relation to that.
In your view, what's the uncomfortable truth about just being another listing that the operators avoid?
And what does it feel like from the inside before you can get on top of that?
So let's talk about that shift because, you know, for me, clearly the power moves to whoever owns the guest relationship, not whoever owns the listing, right?
Agreed.
And that's absolutely, you know, proving your concept and being at 60 to 70% direct and what you just talked about more about also the product.
So what...
had to change in how you operate to stop depending on OTAs as your front door?
