Podcasts about bookings

Unlock what real luxury really means in short‑term rentals with hospitality and branding expert Katie Cline, former PR lead for brands like Ritz-Carlton, W Hotels, and St. Regis. In this episode of the podcast, we dive deep into how female real estate investors can elevate their STR, MTR, and LTR portfolios through hospitality, design, and guest experience—without overspending. In this episode, we cover: How Katie went from UK long-term landlord to profitable US short‑term rental investor Why hospitality is a non‑negotiable skill for real estate investors (even for long- and mid‑term rentals) The “art of the arrival” and how the first 10 minutes shape reviews, referrals, and repeat bookings Practical luxury: the small details that feel high‑end (think: linens, hair dryers, cookware, amenities) Smart policies for bachelorette groups and high‑energy stays that still protect your asset Personalization strategies that help you stand out on Airbnb and Vrbo Branding your property: naming, storytelling, and designing for your actual ideal guest If you're a female real estate investor building wealth with short‑term rentals, vacation homes, or mid‑term rentals, this conversation will show you how to think like a luxury hotelier while staying profitable.     Resources: Book your spot at WIIRE Summer Camp before it fills up Check out what Katie is up to next on Instagram  Listen to Katie's podcast Get the rest of the deets on Katie's ventures Simplify how you manage your rentals with TurboTenant Make sure your name is on the list to secure your spot in The WIIRE Community  Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts Leave us a review on Spotify Connect with us on Instagram

Expedia makes its second acquisition of 2026 and does a reset on its AI strategy, Google officially names hotel booking as the next frontier for agentic shopping, and private equity has discovered the events industry — and the people inside it aren't sure how to feel about it. On today's Skift Daily Briefing, Sarah Dandashy breaks down why Expedia's CarTrawler deal and AI pivot reveal a company quietly becoming a B2B infrastructure powerhouse, why Google's latest announcements could disrupt the entire hotel discovery and booking funnel overnight, and what a room full of events industry CEOs is making of the private equity money flowing their way.

Emily and Andrea check in while still recording in Taurus season, describing a “gas and brake” stagnation and encouraging nervous system regulation, rest, and steady Knight of Pentacles-style effort while living in a longer liminal period tied to larger astrological shifts. They introduce Gemini season as mutable, curiosity-driven, idea-collecting energy and discuss the Gemini–Sagittarius polarity, noting Uranus in Gemini will change the vibe for the next seven years and push belief revisions on a global scale. Andrea's tarot pulls open with Page of Wands, then a run of grounding cards (10 of Pentacles, 9 of Pentacles, The Emperor, 4 of Pentacles) emphasizing tangible progress, self-made confidence, pattern-spotting, and avoiding scarcity spirals. They flag key transits and dates including Venus square Neptune and Sun conjunct Uranus (May 22), Mars square Pluto (May 26), a Sagittarius blue moon (May 31), Mercury into Cancer and later Mercury–Neptune/Saturn tension, Venus into Leo, a Gemini supermoon new moon, Venus opposite Pluto, and Chiron entering Taurus with money, security, and self-worth themes, then close with upcoming offerings, shows, and readings.   Show Notes 00:00 Welcome Back Hosts 00:46 Taurus Season Stuckness 03:37 Liminal Time Lessons 06:55 Rest And Reset 09:11 All Planets Shift 10:44 Gemini Season Begins 11:29 Gemini Traits Myth 16:02 Gemini In Real Life 17:17 Page Of Wands Kickoff 21:46 Uranus Changes Gemini 22:38 May 22 Fog Lightning 24:48 Ten Of Pentacles Week 30:11 Power Dynamics Flashpoints 35:15 Nine Of Pentacles Wins 38:24 Sagittarius Full Moon 40:00 Mercury Into Cancer 40:50 Remembering Good Times 41:25 Mercury Square Neptune Fog 42:26 Ten Ten Ten Test 42:54 Emperor Energy Grounding 48:22 Pisces Moon Presence 49:47 Venus Jupiter Group Hug 51:08 Mercury Saturn Defensive Words 52:46 Four of Pentacles Scarcity 58:49 Venus in Leo Spotlight 59:33 Gemini Supermoon Reset 01:02:03 Venus Pluto Red Flags 01:02:53 Chiron Enters Taurus Values 01:06:23 Collective Activism Shifts 01:10:53 July Turning Point Ahead 01:14:39 Creators Updates Offerings 01:20:19 Final Wrap and Farewell    Connect with Andrea Newsletter: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/newsletter-signup Direct to Bookings: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/sessions Website: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/ Instagram: @concreteandcrystals @andreamccallum.art

Holiday bookings with tour operators are down approximately 20 per cent on this time last year, according to the Irish travel agents association. Tom Randles, president of the association and managing director of Barter's Travelnet in Cork, joined Rachael to discuss the reasons behind the decrease.

The Department of Conservation is expecting huge demand for its Great Walks as bookings open. DOC's director of heritage and visitors Cat Wilson spoke to John Campbell.

This week on Those Weekend Golf Guys, John and Jeff dragged their buddy James Hong away from Harbor Links on Long Island — probably the only place in America where you can lose a golf ball and get a parking ticket at the same time — to talk about golf courses and the vacations we pretend are “family trips.” We kicked things off with the Top 10 U.S. states for golf, which, shocker, starts with Florida. Because of course it does. If there's a patch of grass in Florida bigger than a doormat, somebody's already built a par‑3 on it. Then we zoomed out to the global leaderboard. The United States leads the world in total golf courses (again, shocking), and Japan comes in second — which blows people's minds until they realize the Japanese take golf as seriously as they take sushi knives. From there, the show turned into three guys swapping war stories. James talked about life at Bethpage State Park, home to five courses, including the Black — the only course in America that warns you at the first tee that you're not good enough to be there. Jeff and John reminisced about South Carolina, including hidden gems like Shira State Park, where the fairways are gorgeous, the greens are pure, and the mosquitoes are roughly the size of rescue helicopters. And because we can't resist a passport stamp, we headed overseas to places like Costa Rica, where the Iguana Course gives you ocean views, jungle vibes, and the occasional lizard who looks at your swing like he could do better. We wrapped with some real‑world advice for planning a golf vacation: Do your homework — the internet is full of lies and stock photos Call the pros or staff directly — they'll tell you what the website won't Use reciprocal club agreements — the secret handshake of golf travel And be careful with tee‑time aggregators — some are great, some are… let's say “optimistic” with availability Another classic episode: part travel guide, part therapy session, part “three golf guys bragging about where they've played.” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The school spring break merging with the five-day May Day holiday this year prompted many vacationers to trade whirlwind "special forces-style" travel for immersive, multiday stays in single destinations.今年，学生春假与五天“五一”假期叠加，促使许多游客放弃“特种兵式旅游”式的走马观花，转向在一个目的地进行沉浸式、多日停留的深度游。Special forces-style travel refers to a travel trend wherein multiple attractions are covered in a short time through tightly scheduled, high-intensity itineraries. The trend, which has been around for the past few years, is particularly popular among young people.“特种兵式旅游”指的是通过紧凑、高强度的行程安排，在短时间内游览多个景点的旅游趋势。这一趋势已流行数年，在年轻人中尤为盛行。Data from multiple online travel platforms showed the rise of the "depth stay" phenomenon during this year's May Day holiday, from Friday to Tuesday, with travelers spending more time in one place to soak in the local culture and way of life.多家在线旅游平台数据显示，“五一”假期期间（5月1日至5月5日），“深度停留”现象有所上升，游客在单地停留更长时间，以沉浸体验当地文化与生活方式。According to a report from major online lifestyle platform Meituan, 75 percent of advance hotel bookings made for this year's holiday duration were for tourism and leisure. Bookings for homestays of seven days or longer increased by over 40 percent year-on-year. Self-driving tours grew by over 50 percent year-on-year, while medium — to long-term car rentals of four to seven days rose 13 percent.根据大型生活服务平台美团发布的一份报告，在今年“五一”假期期间，75%的酒店提前预订订单为旅游休闲用途，7天及以上民宿预订量同比增长超过40%，自驾游同比增长超过50%，4至7天的中长期租车订单增长13%。A report from online travel platform Fliggy showed that searches for immersive, in-depth domestic travel activities during the May Day holiday — such as river tracing, fruit picking and mountain hiking — increased 130 percent from a year earlier.在线旅游平台飞猪发布的一份报告显示，“五一”期间，溯溪、水果采摘、登山等沉浸式深度国内游活动的搜索量同比增长了130%。A travel consumption review by the online platform Tuniu revealed that bookings by travelers combining the spring break with the May Day holiday increased by more than 50 percent year-on-year, with self-driving tour users doubling and independent travelers rising by over 100 percent.在线平台途牛发布的一份旅游消费盘点显示，将春假与“五一”假期合并出行的游客预订量同比增长超过50%，其中自驾游用户数量翻倍，自由行游客数量增长超过100%。Data from travel platform Qunar indicated a broader peak pattern. Rather than a single rush from May 1 to 5, hotel bookings in popular cities increased by 15 percent during the three days before and after the holiday (April 28-30 and May 6-8), which extended the travel window. This helped ease congestion at major scenic spots and transportation hubs.旅行平台去哪儿网的数据显示，出行高峰分布更为广泛。热门城市的酒店预订量在假日前三天（4月28日至30日）和假日后三天（5月6日至8日）增长了15%，分散了5月1日至5日单点高峰的客流压力，延长了出行窗口期，这有助于缓解大型景区和交通枢纽的拥堵。Rao Yufei, 19, spent five days in Luoyang, Henan province. She visited the Luoyang Museum, the White Horse Temple and the Longmen Grottoes, sampled local delicacies at a night market and booked a hanfu photo shoot in the ancient city of Luoyi.19岁的饶宇飞在河南省洛阳市停留了五天。她游览了洛阳博物馆、白马寺和龙门石窟，在夜市品尝了当地美食，并在洛邑古城预约了一套汉服写真。"Too many stops are exhausting. Luoyang has a rich history, and every site tells a story. Rushing through would mean missing the real joy of a cultural city," said Rao.“跑太多地方太累了。洛阳历史底蕴深厚，每一处古迹都有它的故事，走马观花会错过一座文化城市真正的韵味，”，饶宇飞说。She scheduled just one attraction in the morning and one in the afternoon, allowing ample time for queues and immersive experiences. She reserved five hours for the hanfu shoot and was thrilled with the result.她安排上午只逛一个景点，下午也只逛一个，为排队和深度体验留出充足时间。她为汉服拍摄预留了五个小时，对成片效果感到非常满意。Yang Lingzi, an office worker from Beijing, traveled with her son and two other families to Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province, for a five-day stay. The group visited the Hubei Provincial Museum, East Lake, shopping streets and Huazhong University of Science and Technology.来自北京的上班族杨凌梓与儿子及另外两个家庭一同前往湖北省省会武汉，进行了为期五天的旅行。他们参观了湖北省博物馆、东湖、商业街和华中科技大学。"Staying in one city felt more relaxing. The nightlife in Wuhan was lively, with great food," she said. "We wanted a break from Beijing and to experience a different city's vibe. No rushed traveling style — just unwinding for a few days."“在一个城市待着更放松。武汉的夜生活很热闹，美食也很多，”她说。“我们想从北京的生活中抽离出来，体验一下不同城市的氛围。不赶行程，就是放松几天。”Lyu Ning, dean of Beijing International Studies University's School of Tourism Sciences, said that the introduction of spring breaks for students and the increased use of paid annual leave by parents represent a positive policy experiment.北京第二外国语学院旅游科学学院院长吕宁表示，为学生引入春假制度以及家长更多使用带薪年假，是一次积极的政策尝试。It effectively staggered passenger flows and relieved congestion during the May Day peak, she said, adding that the policy promoted diverse family tourism consumption and helped smaller cities, counties and rural destinations attract more visitors.她说，这一政策有效错开了客流高峰，缓解了“五一”假期的拥堵，也促进了家庭旅游消费的多元化，帮助中小城市、县城和乡村旅游目的地吸引了更多游客。whirlwind /ˈwɜːlwɪnd/旋风式的，匆忙的immersive /ɪˈmɜːsɪv/沉浸式的soak in /səʊk ɪn/沉浸于，感受ample time /ˈæmpəl taɪm/充足的时间staggered /ˈstæɡəd/错开的

This is quite possibly from our "hopeless causes" file. But can I at least try and make the plea that we have a look at the economic damage done by trigger-happy weather offices and compliant clickbait media when it comes to storm warnings? Cyclone Vaianu was the latest and is hopefully still fresh enough in our memories to remind us of a week's worth of hyperbole and headline nonsense that actually caused quite a lot of damage. Not storm damage, but economic damage. Spending in Northland was down 48%. Auckland down 46%. Waikato down 52% (that would have included the Supercars that got canned). Bay of Plenty down 68%. Gisborne down 51%. Hawkes Bay down 56%. Now obviously in the middle of a storm on that blowy, old Saturday and into Sunday you have already worked out you're not booking an outdoor table for lunch. But these figures will include the week building up to the event, the drama that started the previous Sunday, with the ever-present "keep an eye on this one" headlines, and as the week progressed, the alarmism grew. Not because alarmism was required, but because the weather wonks and the media feed off each other. The weather people love publicity and the media, especially digital, love potential clickbait. And nothing baits your click like pending metrological carnage. So in that prior Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, how many things got cancelled? Bookings killed? Trips binned? Decisions altered? That's the economic damage we can avoid. If you remember, it wasn't until Friday they actually knew what the weather, they thought, would do. They were still wrong. But at least by Friday they had confidence in the ensuing days. When so much of our potential economic activity got canned, they were still speculating and blabbering on about trampolines and holiday travel and telling you how to live your life. Somewhere along the line the weather people got carried away with their own self-importance and the media gee'd them up and what is a two-day storm turned into a week-long extravaganza. An orgy of verbal diarrhoea, amping and amping and amping. And, as the data shows, doing untold damage to regions that didn't really need it, as well as a storm. The forlorn hope? That this data sobers a few people up and maybe, just maybe, next time a few grown-ups drive the narrative. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Cold outreach is a great way to start — but it's not how you scale."Welcome back to The Speaker Lab Podcast! In this solo episode, host Dan Irvin makes the case that the most efficient gig you'll ever book is the one you just finished. The problem? Most speakers walk off stage, shake a few hands, grab a photo, and move on — completely missing the two, three, maybe five opportunities that were already sitting in that room.Dan breaks down the exact post-event process he uses to turn every speaking gig into referrals, rebookings, and long-term relationships — including the story of a low-fee local event that turned into over $50,000 in workshops with a client he's still working with today.

The pro-business aura of the current administration shouldn't lull owners into a sense of invincibility, says Gene Marks, as he cites a major ruling by the Department of Labor against a restaurant in Oregon. Fines at the federal and state level can be financially devastating, plus misclassifying workers is a black eye on one's reputation. The immigration crackdown hasn't shorted the labor market nor has it produced wage gains. In AI news, Gene points to the AI tools being used by Yelp to increase bookings and Google Maps, urging businesses to lean into AI for insights for B2C businesses. Listen to the podcast.

A Clare Short-Term let representative says bookings in this county have plummeted due to misinformation surrounding government regulations. The coalition had planned to introduce a register for all AirBnBs by Summer, but this legislation could be as much as two years away, due to policy drafting delays. The planned reforms would also restrict short-term lets in towns like Ennis and Shannon where the population is above 20,000. Voluntary AirBnB Leader for Clare, Limerick and Tipperary, Lorna Cahill insists tourists can continue to book stays in confidence.

In this HdS News update, we break down why clients are becoming more selective and how that's showing up in your chair, your pricing conversations, and your bookings.From tighter spending to higher expectations, this episode explains what's actually changing and what to do about it.Follow/subscribe to be the first to know when new episodes are released.

What if the secret to a standout short-term rental isn't just great design, but a fully cohesive experience that starts the moment a guest clicks on your listing? In this episode, I'm joined by sisters Ashlyn and Olivia, the creative powerhouses behind Abideaway. We're diving into how a simple idea shared over a Marco Polo video evolved into a full-service studio that helps hosts build standout stays through the perfect marriage of design and strategy.We talk about:How interior design, branding, and web presence work together to create a seamless narrative for your propertyMoving beyond "who" your guest is to what they are worrying about, and how to solve those fears through intentional layout and amenitiesWhy custom art is more than just a "photo op" and how it can be used to stop the scroll and reinforce your property's storyPractical, high-impact advice on where to spend a limited budget in your kitchen, living room, or outdoor space for maximum ROIHow to mine architecture, local history, and personal passions to guide every design decision you makeBut this isn't just about aesthetics. It's about intentionality. Ashlyn and Olivia pull back the curtain on their creative process, from using Procreate mockups to ensure owner confidence to scoping mural projects that actually last. You'll hear their "design hotline" wisdom on how to avoid the "I wish they'd thought of that" moments that kill guest reviews, and how to create a space that feels custom, memorable, and deeply resonant.If you've been looking for the bridge between "just a rental" and a "cohesive brand," this conversation is your roadmap. Get ready to stop guessing and start designing with a clear, story-driven purpose.HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY POINTS:[00:59] A short introduction about our guests, Ashlyn Feller and Olivia Gerber from Abideaway, and shares how the idea started organically between them as sisters with complementary creative skill sets[04:31] Ashlyn and Olivia emphasize defining the ideal guest and starting with priorities to build a cohesive STR brand[07:45] Olivia explains starting with the ideal guest avatar and using a phased approach to build a cohesive STR brand experience[11:35] Olivia shares her philosophy of designing with intentionality and uncovering the story of a property[13:27] Olivia describes ways for hosts who are bootstrapping their STR design to uncover and build the story of their property[16:04] Ashlyn and Olivia explain when themed properties make sense and the role of data in decision-making [17:44] Olivia shares why engaging a designer early in the acquisition process is beneficial [18:45] Olivia and Ashlyn talk about what to consider in design before closing on a property and explain that designers can also refresh or elevate underperforming properties[20:37] Ashlyn shares why murals are a powerful design tool for short-term rentals and describes how hosts can budget for them based on size, complexity, and customization [24:16] Ashlyn describes her mural creation process from concept to installation, including design mockups, painting techniques, and care, and [27:26] Ashlyn shares creative ideas for placing murals in both large and smaller spaces and introduces the STR Sisterhood Design Hotline as a resource for hosts seeking design guidance[29:21] Ashlyn and Olivia describe the STR Sisterhood Design Hotline and what folks can expect if they've never been to a design hotline[32:39] Ashlyn and Olivia explain how even a modest $1,000 budget can meaningfully improve different areas of a short-term rental when spent strategically[34:01] Ashlyn explains how to approach branding with a limited budget by focusing on defining the overall guest experience and building a cohesive brand beyond just a logo[37:44] The lightning round Golden Nuggets:“We have to go deeper and understand what that person is thinking when they're looking at properties, what that person is thinking when they are making a booking decision, what that person is stressed out about, what they're afraid of, what they're concerned about if they book the wrong property, because those are the things that ideal guest is not actually telling anyone that's a conversation he or she is having with themselves.”“Pull some piece of the puzzle and use that as, like a seed of inspiration.”“I am a huge believer that we are all in business to, not only, you know, improve our own lives. But isn't it great that we can proactively help each other like that just makes us all go to bed at night feeling that much better, right?”“Build your network and build it strong.”“If we're not aware, number one of things we need to tackle in our businesses, or things that may need improvement in our businesses, if we don't dedicate focused thinking time, which is that white space, we can go for months and even years without having those problems solved or those new ideas generated.”Let's Connect:Website : https://www.abideaway.com/Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090299230620Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/abideaway/ Enjoyed the show?

This Cosmic Energy Report centers on a theme of collective awakening and the transition from chaos to grounded clarity. Andrea and Emily discuss how the intense Aries energy of recent weeks have been marked by political absurdity, rapid news cycles, and global upheaval. This combination is pushing many people past the point of comfortable ignorance. The sheer volume and speed of unfolding events is making it harder for anyone to look away, which is an unexpected source of optimism for those hoping for change. Humor, satire, and cross-cultural solidarity as signs that collective consciousness is shifting, and Andrea highlights a major contrast between the collaborative, emotionally intelligent astronauts of NASA's Artemis mission and the circumstances around the Titan submersible. On the other side of the energy spectrum is the astrological transition into Taurus season, a necessary exhale and return to self. With Uranus leaving Taurus after seven years of disrupting everything from financial security to personal identity, Emily frames this moment as a chance to rebuild foundations on more authentic terms. This will not be achieved through hustle, but through the Taurus virtues of slowness, sensory pleasure, and quiet trust in one's own instincts. She speaks to how the pandemic years stripped people of their ability to simply enjoy life, and tells us that Taurus season invites a reclamation of beauty, whimsy, and presence. Andrea's tarot pulls reinforce this arc, all pointing toward honest self-reckoning, balanced giving and receiving, and steady incremental action. This is  captured in the Zen proverb "chop wood, carry water" as the spiritual practice of ordinary life.   Show Notes   00:00 Welcome And Setup 00:26 World Events And Fast Energy 03:06 Absurd Politics And Media 08:31 Hopeful Turning Points 13:46 Judgment Card Week 18:07 What Taurus Season Means 21:48 Uranus Wraps Taurus 24:45 Key Dates April 19-25 27:55 Curiosity Over Panic 29:49 Six Of Pentacles Balance 34:33 Scorpio Full Moon Truths 37:24 Knight Of Pentacles Pace 40:44 Seasonal Rhythm And Burnout 41:52 Slow Down to Level Up 42:38 Mars Square Jupiter Tension 43:42 Mercury Pluto Shadow Talk 44:30 Pluto Retrograde Community Audit 45:12 Third Quarter Moon Reset 46:23 Hierophant Values and Leadership 52:04 Sun Mercury Clarity in Taurus 53:42 Mars Chiron and New Moon 58:54 Two of Cups Connection Days 01:01:42 Gemini Shift and New Momentum 01:06:41 Chariot Lessons on Rest 01:10:15 Birthdays and New Offerings 01:16:08 Creative Plans and Farewell    Connect with Andrea Newsletter: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/newsletter-signup Direct to Bookings: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/sessions Website: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/ Instagram: @concreteandcrystals @andreamccallum.art
