Airbook.Direct
About the project
I've been running a short-term rental business for many years, and the lack of a simple, powerful, and branded website drove me to create one. I soon realized that many other hosts share this need. Recently, online travel agencies (OTAs) have been increasing their platform fees, significantly cutting into hosts' profits. Additionally, unfair review resolution processes and the constant dependence on OTAs are limiting hosts' ability to effectively manage and grow their vacation rental businesses. Airbook.Direct helps hosts easily set up a direct booking website—in other words, to convert their Airbnb listing into a branded, beautiful website with all the photos and description from Airbnb but wrapped into a standalone, stylish, branded representation. Besides this, the website functionality allows hosts to properly adjust their SEO for better search optimization, have proper content management via writing blogs, and includes an AI assistant to help with guest communication.
