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

Anyone come across this site? They have contacted me with an offer of €29 for a year, and they do seem to have good coverag in Italy (although hardly anything in France).

We had 9 enquiries and no bookings from them for 2004. Is that helpful? I don't know ether :roll:

23 inquiries since January 2005 and not a single booking.
Most inquiries have come from Italy and France.
If they don't produce a booking before I have to renew in June next year I have found a way to save some of my money.

It brings us back to the debate about which is more useful - the inquiries or the bookings - but I would think that even as low as 9 inquiries (if you're keeping your availability calendar up to date) is not bad in a year, so the same goes for 23 in around 18 months. I always keep our calendar up to date, so the most so far in any 12 month period has been 15 - that listing site links to our website too. Bookings for us are doing extremely well on this sort of volume of inquiries.

GG,

You can't have without the other but which one puts money in the Bank? Enquiries or bookings? Even my Bank manager can answer that question.
