The problem isn’t your property. It’s your system.

Market Movers Travel builds modern systems for glamping resorts, boutique hotels, and multi-unit vacation rentals ready to grow demand without relying on the Airbnb’s of the world.
You’ve built a beautiful guest experience, but behind the scenes? It’s a mess of disconnected tools, unreliable bookings, and marketing that feels duct-taped together. You’re paying OTA commissions for guests who would’ve booked with you anyway.

Your PMS is running the show instead of supporting it.

And your website? It looks great… but doesn’t convert.

Let’s fix that.

Your Greatest Growth Challenges, Solved.

You’ve tried the industry’s “best” tools, but you’re still losing revenue to OTAs, double bookings, and operational chaos. Now is the time to own your data, own your content, and own your supporting AI. Stop trying to piece together random lego blocks and expecting a castle to appear. This isn’t about buying another chatbot—if your data stinks, it doesn’t matter. If your content stinks, it doesn’t matter. What matters is the intention and investment you put into building a foundation that actually works.
  • OTAs control guest relationships: Losing 15–30% per booking to platforms like Airbnb and VRBO with no direct customer data or contact to remarket.
  • Operational Overload: Double bookings, mispriced listings, and manual work eating your time.
  • Low Direct Bookings: Your website isn’t converting guests, leaving you dependent on OTAs.
  • Property tech stacks are fragmented: Your booking, pricing, and marketing tools don’t talk to each other, creating data silos that hide critical insights and cost you opportunities to optimize pricing, target high-value guests, and grow your portfolio.
  • AI agents will bypass serving your property to a traveler in the new search process if you’re not connected

The Problem

The Solution

  • Direct Booking System: A seamless, branded booking platform that syncs with OTAs and drives direct bookings powered by loyalty + personalization.
  • Scalable Growth: Streamlined operations and marketing tools to grow your portfolio without the stress.
  • Revenue Recovery Plan: In 7–10 days, we deliver a custom report pinpointing your revenue leaks, visibility gaps, and conversion killers.
  • AI-ready Distribution Infrastructure: Built on open-source software our AI-enhanced platform creates seamless, custom integrations between your booking, pricing, and marketing systems.

Establish Visibility + Direct Booking Power

Visibility Audit (Revenue Unlock):
Most property managers are unknowingly leaking revenue every month — from poor OTA visibility to broken pricing strategies. Our audit uncovers the exact gaps costing you bookings and dollars, then delivers a clear playbook to fix them. In just 7–10 days, you’ll know exactly where revenue is slipping through the cracks, and how to recover it.

Direct Booking System:
Depending solely on OTAs means higher commissions, less control, and the constant risk of double bookings. Our WordPress-powered booking platform puts you back in charge. It syncs seamlessly across Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com, while giving you a direct booking channel you actually own. That means more profit in your pocket, stronger guest relationships, and a system built to scale with your portfolio.

Before It's Too Late The Direct Booking Playbook Every Host Needs
💣 Airbnb just dropped a bomb on hosts. What used to cost just 3% to host a guest is jumping to nearly 20%. Yeah… the math isn’t mathing. 👀 Here’s the reality: Hotels spend about 9% on marketing. Hosts on Airbnb? Double that—just to drown in a sea of competitors. Sure, guests get cleaner pricing. But for hosts? It’s a budget nightmare: Margins shrink. Control slips. And we’re left paying more for the same platform that still owns the guest relationship. So what now? The hosts who survive this shift will: ✅ Recalculate pricing ✅ Diversify platforms ✅ Build direct bookings ✅ Double-down on guest experience 🎥 I break it all down in this quick video—and in my latest article I unpack: Why this move puts Airbnb on equal footing with Booking.com How it could backfire as hosts chase direct bookings harder than ever And the strategies you can use to fight back before fees eat your profits alive 👉 https://sarahstahl.com/how-to-stay-profitable-amid-airbnbs-fee-frenzy-a-hosts-guide-to-smart-solutions/ What’s your take—will this shift level the playing field, or just push more operators into building their own demand engine?
How to Stay Profitable Amid Airbnb's Fee Frenzy
Imagine this: a couple planning their dream trip doesn’t bother with twenty browser tabs or scrolling endless listings. Instead, they simply ask ChatGPT: “Find me the best boutique hotel near the beach.” Within seconds, they’ve got a tidy shortlist. Here’s the catch, your hotel is either on that list, or it’s invisible. That’s the new reality of hospitality marketing. AI tools—whether it’s Google, OTAs, or voice assistants—are shaping traveler choices long before a guest ever lands on your website. If you’re not optimized for them, you’re basically handing your visibility (and revenue) to someone else. In my latest feature for Hotel Online, I break down: Why AI isn’t here to replace hospitality—it’s here to reward it. The small but critical mistakes keeping hotels from being recommended. Practical steps to build a “visibility engine” so AI trusts your property. How guest reviews, data consistency, and schema-rich content tip the odds in your favor. This isn’t about chasing algorithms. It’s about aligning with how people really search, speak, and decide in 2025. 👉 Read the full article here on Hotel Online: https://www.hotel-online.com/press_releases/release/dear-ai-please-recommend-my-hotel-an-open-plea-to-the-bots/
