The choice of "systematic commissioning
You agree to systematically pay 10 to 25% commissions to OTAs: Booking, Trip Advisor, Expedia, etc.
The challenges of managing seasonal rentals for professionals and individuals are numerous. However, given the current market dominated by OTAs, the options are not many. The first would be to rely 100% on online booking portals, which are often heavily commissioned.
This certainly reduces launch costs (no need for a basic investment in a website), but it will quickly start to be expensive once the first reservations have been received. In addition, any independent work on the SEO of goods will be excluded, due to the absence of a so-called "owner" advertisement (your adverts on Booking or Airbnb do not belong to you) and the underlying costs.
These platforms sometimes offer a better ranking on their platform for an additional commission, but this naturally only increases the dependence. This first option can be a starting solution, in the case of a clearly restricted launch budget, but it will never be a lasting option.
