Top Strategies To Attract, Convert & Turn Guests into Repeat Customers, Raving Fans and Ambassadors Back Home
The VR Industry is quickly moving from a start up phase, where you could get enquiries and bookings fairly easily to a mature one where you no longer have the freedom and control over all aspects of your business that you used to have. Listing sites and OTAs define and limit your access to your clients information. Lobbies and interest groups push lawmakers to adopt restricting regulations. VRs are the next big thing and people are lured into a promise of easy money from renting their properties or investing in real estate in a frenzy gold rush. As a result, inventory increases and so does competition, while holiday makers stay virtually the same.
So in such a dynamic environment running a successful and profitable business gets harder every day.
