Xmas cracker jokes

OTA = Online Travel Agency, which means those sites that sell the booking and take the payment for you.

Xmas cracker jokes

Here's my starter for 10 from HomeAway metrics:

In the last 90 days, I have had zero bookings. This is "Good".
So good, in fact, that I am outperforming 59% of my competitors.

TripAdvisor have told me that, if i work hard next year, they will unlock my TripCollective Attraction Expert badge.

Makes it all worthwhile. :shock:

Some guests just need a sympathetic pat. On the head. With a hammer.

In the light of that, I had to go to see what my booking metrics were: Zero bookings in the last 90 days (but of course) and classed as "Good". I am outperforming 64% of the competition I am told. So I am wondering if there is anyone left who actually books accommodation through the HA/OD platform?

Is there someone out there with zero bookings, and outperforming 100% of the competition? I'd say that deserves a TripCollective Attraction Expert badge. :lol:

Zero bookings outdoing 72% of the competition here. When I had 2 x 2 night bookings in 90 days I was outdoing 97% of the competition. Go me!

Trip Advisor just keep sending me emails telling me how wonderful I am. But they don't give me percentages. However, it makes me feel good!!!

I suppose it is merely because I respond to enquiries within the hour. I do get enquiries (very occasionally) but I never book them through their platform as I am on subscription and don't take payments through them. So what would they know?
