Welcome to season 4 of the Boost Hospitality Podcast, and back again to show all hospitality owners

how you can turn lookers into bookers,

get more heads on beds and increase your direct booking.

This season, I've got something very special lined up. The

Bousley website was recently voted one of the top 10 UK hotel blogs out there.

After asking you guys, I realized that so many of you haven't actually

read the blogs. You said that you prefer audio as a way of learning about new tactics and tips to get in more direct

bookings. So what I'm doing this season is I'm going to be providing the audio

version of all of my blogs that are on the Boostley website.

So it doesn't matter whether you're on the computer, in the car,

getting rid of breakfast or changing those beds, I can show you how you can increase your diary bookings. Let's get on with

who has said no to the online travel agents.

She has built her business by just going 100% down the book direct route.

for you. So I wanted to pick her brains and find

out exactly what she did why she did it and just to see if has any advice that you can

take just in case you are contemplating from not being listed on the online travel agents.

So it's an interview style so I'll be talking from my perspective and then obviously the answers

I'll be given from Lynn. So let's begin.
