So let's get on with the show.

There was a recent survey, a sentiment survey done by Fuel Travel. It's one of many they've been doing over the course of the past year and every time that they do this they want gauge what is the sentiment of your travelers, your future potential guest. And there is one word that is basically catapulted to the top of your guest concern and it is this. It is safety. So a year ago or even six months ago or four months ago, that would have been cancellation. So can they still travel? What would happen if restrictions were lower, etc. We're now getting to the point where governments are coming out of these, going out and going back in of lockdowns as strict as what they have been doing or as readily as what they have been doing. And now people are more confident that they can travel especially with you know, travel insurance and etc that they've got backing them up. Now it is the safety aspect again, which is, which is really interesting. So what can you be doing on your listing, on your website, on your social media to talk about the safety aspect? So when a guest arrives in your property, what have you done to make sure that these properties are clean, secure and safe? Again, we had to battle with, with this last year. You know, things like putting remote controls in jiffy bags, etc by leaving a sign on the door to say that the property has been cleaned, you've got to be demonstrating this again. So this is a really up to the point, up to date concern of your future potential guest. So make sure that you are still putting it out there that the properties are clean, everything is safe and secure, you, your family, they are all going to be safe when they arrive at your property. You just got to make sure that you communicate this. Now I know that you're doing, doing this, you know that you're doing this, but your future potential guest isn't. This is a sticking point with your guest right now, is that is that aspect of it? So anything that you can do to appease it could be the difference between you getting the booking or somebody else getting the booking. So please do bear that in mind. My name is Mark Simpson and I give hosts just like you, the tools, the tactics, the training, but most importantly the confidence to get more bookings.
