And with those hosts, how does it work? How do you make your the income? Is that from the host side of things or does the guests pay a kind of booking fee?
Yep. So we're either looking to charge at just 5% commission or they can pay 150 pounds for the year and that enables them the use of our technology and that. That's it. We're keeping it as low as we possibly can.
Awesome. So it's basically, it could be the price of one night, realistically, and then they've got the option to be able to sell all of nights throughout the year that they need to sort of send out there. So I'm sure there's going to be people off the back of this thinking, oh, I've got some dates, especially as we record this, we're coming up to January and January tends to be one of the slower months, doesn't it, where there's some dates available.
