HOSPEDIFY VIRAL OFFER, FROM DECEMBER 13 TO 25, 2022
Letter from the C.E.O to our members.
Dear member, first of all, we want to thank you for visiting us and allowing us to fulfill our dreams.
At Hospedify we are a team of people who are passionate about tourism, and with the dream of creating an OTA that is really balanced in relation to prices for the end user, and the few benefits they offer, despite the many they get from each booking.
The word OTA is short for "Online Travel Agency", and for a clear example, Air BnB, Booking.com and BRVO are OTAS.
I come from the hotel sector, working on it uninterruptedly since 2011, and I have always had the concern of wanting to understand why the OTAS earned so much money in commissions, and how that caused a financial tear for the hotels, which had to lower much of their profits, and many times, resort to losses in order to offer a favorable price for the end user, because the high commissions of the OTAS end up exaggerating the final prices for the users.
Over the years, I learned that OTAS are huge organizations, with such a high level of bureaucracy, that their profits are consumed in operations, logistics and gateways, presenting losses of billions of USD in a year, as if we were talking about 100 USD. An example of this is that Air BnB, for the summer of 2022, this platform had a 25% increase in its reservations, compared to the same date of its two previous years, and even so, it presented a loss of 4,600 million, while the offer of vacation rentals grows every day, and these whales get fatter. And it is worth mentioning that these companies carry debts of billions of USD, so in order to maintain their operating cycle, many of their commission ends up representing more money than what the owner of the property has left, after expenses.
At Hospedify we have decided to bring a different proposal, in which users can get much more benefits for the money they pay, and still pay cheaper.
If you support us, together, we can prove that it is perfectly possible to create a service ecosystem where everyone wins, and the end user receives much more than what he paid for.
Att.,
Edwin Jimenez
