Tapaus on edelleen selvittämättä, vaikka vuosien aikana poliisilla on ollut joitakin epäiltyjä. * Tiedäthän, että tämä kuuntelemasi jakso on podcastin aiempaa tuotantoa.

Riccardo e Marco dopo aver esplorato i quattro pilastri fondamentali del “COME” vendere, arrivano a un concetto che lega insieme tutti gli elementi discussi finora: il RATE FENCING. Il rate fencing consiste nel creare differenziazioni logiche e strategiche tra le varie offerte tariffarie, consentendo di segmentare così la proposta senza cannibalizzare il valore percepito dall'ospite.Quando un utente visita il booking engine oppure un portale OTA deve trovare diverse opzioni di prenotazione con le relative tariffe differenti. Cosa impedisce a tutti di scegliere semplicemente la tariffa più bassa? La risposta è proprio il rate fencing.

Platform promotions are everywhere right now, but are they actually helping your short-term rental business, or just draining your profits? In this episode, we dig into the truth behind Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com discounts, uncovering how they work and how you can use them strategically without sacrificing revenue. Learn how to stand out in search results without slashing your nightly rate. What You'll Learn in This Episode: • How Airbnb's early bird, last-minute, and length-of-stay discounts really impact visibility • The "new listing" discount every OTA is pushing—and whether you should use it • Why dynamic pricing tools miss these promotions and how to avoid double discounts • Booking.com's loyalty Genius Program and how it compares to Airbnb or VRBO • A pro hack using PMS channel markups to gain visibility without lowering your prices If you've been unsure about whether OTA discounts are worth it, this episode brings clarity and strategy. Learn how to work the system—without letting it work you. Don't forget to subscribe, share, and check the links below for free tools to help you scale your rental income the smart way.

Occupational therapy assistants are the bedrock of treatment provision in many OT departments throughout the country.In fact, In large rural SNFs, around  58% of OT staffing minutes are by OTAs.And, in rural and underserved communities, about 48% of all Medicare outpatient therapy services are provided by OTAs.But, not enough continuing education has been geared towards the unique challenges and opportunities within this profession. That's why I'm so thankful to begin a new annual series on Hot Topics for OTAs, with our first guest, Amy Mahle Ed.D., COTA/L, ROH. Amy and I will discuss the hot topics that are top of mind headed into 2026:  from changing reimbursement to the OTA pipeline, to new technologies at the point of care. This course is perfect for both occupational therapy assistants, and occupational therapists who are curious to learn more about our closest colleagues. Support the show

50-vuotias Robert Hoagland katosi kesken tavallisen sunnuntain vuoden 2013 heinäkuussa. Robertin perhe ei uskonut vapaaehtoiseen katoamiseen, vaikka poliisin mielestä osa todisteista viittasi siihen suuntaan. Yhdeksän vuotta katoamisen jälkeen Robertin kohtalon selvisi, mutta ilmaan jäi silti edelleen isoja kysymyksiä.

What happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas this time. Jamie Lane and Scott Sage are back from the VRMA conference with powerful insights shaping the future of short-term rentals—from the rise of AI tools to why “national is dead and local is king.” They unpack the data behind what's really driving property manager success today—and what's holding others back.In this episode, Jamie reveals new AirDNA research showing a major divide between top-performing property managers and the rest: those with review scores above 4.7 are keeping clients, while those below are losing nearly a quarter of their portfolio. They also explore why small, hyper-local co-hosts are thriving while national brands stall, and how a well-designed loyalty program can win repeat guests without relying on Airbnb or Vrbo.Later, they dig into the latest STR data—muted summer demand, shifting guest behavior, and the surprising 40% surge in New Year's bookings driven by holiday timing. Plus: a PSA every host using a PMS on Airbnb needs to hear before October 27th. Key Takeaways AI is already transforming hosting: Innovative tools are boosting communication scores and guest experiences, even before Airbnb or Vrbo roll out their own versions.The 4.7 Rule: Property managers with review scores below 4.7 now face double the churn rate (24%) of top performers—quality is retention.Local > National: Hyper-local operators managing 6–20 properties are growing fastest, proving proximity and personal touch beat big-brand scale.DIY Loyalty Works: Local managers can build profitable loyalty programs that attract repeat guests—no need to wait for OTA initiatives.Holiday & Market Insights: Expect strong end-of-year demand, a 40% New Year's Eve surge, and higher bookings in World Cup host cities next summer.Sign up for AirDNA for FREE

Neljä nuorta Burger Chef -ravintolan työntekijää siepattiin ja surmattiin vuoden 1978 syksyllä Speedwayssa, Indianan osavaltiossa Yhdysvalloissa. Vuosien varrella monet henkilöt ovat tunnustaneet murhat ja poliisi on yrittänyt yhdistää tapausta myös moniin muihin alueella tapahtuneisiin rikoksiin. Silti murhat ovat edelleen selvittämättä. * Tiedäthän, että tämä kuuntelemasi jakso on podcastin aiempaa tuotantoa. Podmessa voit kuunnella kaikki Jäljillä-podcastin viimeisten vuosien jaksot.

Kayak launched AI Mode, a ChatGPT-powered trip planner that taps Kayak's data to return contextual results across hundreds of providers—arriving just as holiday flight searches rise 10%. Global tourism demand is diverging, with Spain booming and U.S. inbound softening, yet both are leaning into live tourism for 2026: Brand USA is promoting ahead of the FIFA World Cup, while Spain touts draws like Bad Bunny's residency and upcoming solar eclipses. Meanwhile, travel companies are racing to build agentic commerce tools; analysts say successful OTA apps on ChatGPT and proprietary channels could reshape the tech landscape, expanding e-commerce and separating winners from laggards.

Silent Beacon panic button for personal and workplace safety: how a stuntman's accident sparked a Bluetooth emergency device that now protects home-health workers, educators, social services, and more—with 911 calling, dashboards, and OTA updates. Kenny Kelley, CEO and founder of Silent Beacon, shares how a motorcycle crash inspired a hands-free panic button that pairs with your smartphone to call 911 and alert contacts when you can't reach your phone. The product started as a consumer safety device for runners, students, and seniors, then demand shifted during COVID as businesses needed discreet protection for staff entering unknown environments—home healthcare, social services, education, nonprofits, and government. Kenny explains real-world use cases, from mental-health interventions where responders needed both hands free, to lighter moments (like rescuing someone stuck in a tree house) that show the device's range. He outlines the tech evolution: improvements in Bluetooth stacks on iOS and Android, Qualcomm chipsets, better mics/speakers, and over-the-air firmware updates for rapid fixes. For organizations, the dashboard shows connection status, triggers parallel alerts (push, SMS, email, phone) to teams while 911 or a monitoring center is contacted, and supports company-wide follow-ups after events. Design trade-offs matter: keep it sleek and discreet for daily wear while ensuring buttons are deliberate enough to avoid false alarms. Kenny also addresses accessibility and dignity for seniors and people with disabilities, noting plans for a standalone cellular version for environments where phones aren't allowed. Finally, he clarifies connectivity: 911 calling works without a data plan; location “blips” require Wi-Fi or cellular data.

Joey Lynn Offutt ja hänen puolisonsa Alexis alkoivat riidellä vauvan hoitamiseen liittyvistä asioista heinäkuisena iltana vuonna 2007. Alexis poistui riidan jälkeen paikalta, eikä kuullut Joeysta tai vauvasta mitään yli viikkoon. Kun Joeyn talo syttyi palamaan ja pariskunnan vauva löytyi sen sisältä kuolleena, jäljelle jäi pelkkiä kysymyksiä; mihin Joey katosi ja oliko hän se, joka surmasi vauvan ja sytytti talon palamaan? * Tiedäthän, että tämä kuuntelemasi jakso on podcastin aiempaa tuotantoa.

We gave control of our hotel inventory away once before. Let's not do it again. At The Lodging Conference, I spoke with Jeff Wagoner, President and CEO of OUTRIGGER Hospitality Group for hashtag#NoVacancyNews, about how hashtag#AI is reshaping hotel search, discovery, and distribution — and what hoteliers must do to stay in control this time. Jeff drew a clear line between the post-9/11 OTA era and what's happening now with generative AI. Back then, the industry leaned on online travel agencies for visibility and lost direct connections with guests. Today, agentic AI tools like ChatGPT could either hand that power back to hotels—or repeat the same mistake. Here's what Jeff shared:

Perheenäiti Jennifer Dulosin katoamismysteeri järkytti Connecticutissa vuonna 2019. Vaikka tapahtunut lähti selviämään melko nopeasti ja poliisi uskoo tietävänsä kuka oli syyllinen Jenniferin katoamiseen, on tapaus edelleen osittain mysteeri. Poliisi uskoo, että useampi ihminen oli mukana suunnittelemassa tekoa tai ainakin tiesi etukäteen, että Jenniferille tulisi tapahtumaan jotakin. * Tiedäthän, että tämä kuuntelemasi jakso on podcastin aiempaa tuotantoa.

You don't have to stay stuck on the OTA hamster wheel.

Tourpreneur hosts Mitch Bach and Peter Syme come to you live from Berlin! They attended GetYourGuide's Unlocked conference, where over 300 of their tour, activity, and attraction partners gathered from around the world to have a day-long discussion that will shape the future of the platform, and our industry in part. (Last year's supplier discussions focused on the need for curation, leading directly to a major shift in the platform's direction.)Peter and Mitch spent most of the day speaking with tour operators there, but when end-of-day drinks happened, GetYourGuide's COO Tao Tao said "let's grab some beers and go have a chat!" And we couldn't resist the chance to pepper him with questions.In an age of carefully scripted, PR-focused corporate conversations, we appreciated Tao's candor and willingness to answer everything we threw at him. Our questions were a little wacky, a little philosophical and extremely eclectic. But he didn't shy away from anything. And the result really exposes GetYourGuide's vision (and bet) for how an experiences marketplace should look in 2025 and beyond.This conversation is wide-ranging to say the least, and a good follow-up after our podcast in January (which is also a must-listen).In this episode we cover a lot of terrain:Mitch gets a little wacky with social commentary: Are reviews actually good for our industry? Are we all better off experiencing travel through serendipity and wandering, rather than organized, booked experiences?Pete notices an end-of-day discussion on "moods" and asked Tao whether GetYourGuide should be developing mood and feeling filters!Tao shares why they created a conference to show up for their suppliers, even when there's tough love in the room.We ask how, 9 months later, the shift to a more curated marketplace is progressing. Are we nearing the end of the process, or just the beginning?We veer into a strange conversation around which movie or TV show best describes the current OTA situation, and how GetYourGuide thinks about what they're doing as an organization that partially sets the tone for what tours & activities are.Tao shares how in the age of AI, product differentiation and curation will only get more important.We all agree our industry needs to grow the pie. But how? In what direction?New AI reviews and filters point to a future possibility where the right tour is surfaced in a more personalized way, and quality is assessed beyond star ratings.Finally, we get Tao's advice for new businesses and how they should position themselves in the industry and the platform for best success.And GetYourGuide is a sponsor of TourWeek 2025, our global conference with 400 tour & activity industry players coming to Charleston, SC for more meaty, frothy conversations!More show notes and resources on tourpreneur.com

Jessica Gillingham—CEO of Abode Worldwide and author of “Tech-Enabled Hospitality”—joins us to map the real state of hospitality tech across short-term rentals, hotels, and multifamily. Drawing on interviews with 38 global leaders, she argues that technology's job is simple: enable better hospitality. We dig into the mindset shift from “tech as cost” to “tech as a strategic investment,” why many operators now prize stability and long-term vendor partnerships over constant churn, and how AI is moving personalization from buzzword to practice—provided operators unify data across the guest and staff journeys. Jessica explores the rise (and operational complexity) of hybrid hospitality models, the cooling of sustainability talk versus the steady, cost-driven adoption of IoT, and her big prediction: search and discovery will change fast as LLMs start answering instead of listing, reshaping OTA dynamics and operator marketing. She closes with pragmatic advice for managers: start with strategy, move deliberately, and use tech to get more human, not less.

14-vuotias Misty Copsey katosi lähdettyään kotiin markkinoilta Washingtonin osavaltiossa Yhdysvalloissa, syksyllä 1992. Poliisi ajatteli Mistyn olleen karkuteillä, mutta hänen äitinsä Diana piti sinnikkäästi kiinni siitä teoriasta, että jotain vakavaa oli tapahtunut. Katoamisen tutkinnan aikana Diana sai apua yllättävistäkin lähteistä, mutta siitä huolimatta Mistyn kohtalo on edelleen mysteeri. * Tiedäthän, että tämä kuuntelemasi jakso on podcastin aiempaa tuotantoa.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1155: Overfuel calls out dealership websites for failing performance tests, RunSafe says cybersecurity is now a dealbreaker for buyers, and ChatGPT becomes a top traffic driver for retailers — while Amazon charts its own AI pathShow Notes with links:​​Overfuel's second annual study of top 50 dealer group websites reveals a major gap in digital performance. Despite increasing online shopper behavior, nearly every site failed to meet Google's Core Web Vitals — for the second year in a row.Just 0.4% of 1,910 dealership sites passed Google's Core Web Vitals on both mobile and desktop.That's barely up from 0.0% in 2024, when no sites passed both benchmarks.The majority of failures came from outdated tech, bloated page designs, and poor optimization.Jay Wolfe Honda was one of only seven that passed both tests, boosting organic traffic by 29%.“Too many dealers are overspending on ads just to push traffic into broken experiences,” said Overfuel President Alex Griffis.Cybersecurity is now steering consumer decisions, with nearly 9 in 10 drivers saying it directly impacts whether they'll buy a connected vehicle. A new report from RunSafe Security shows rising concern — and confusion — about how safe today's tech-heavy cars really are.87% of drivers say cybersecurity influences their car-buying decision; 70% would buy an older car to avoid risk.Confidence is low: only 19% feel “very confident” their vehicle is secure.Infotainment systems are seen as the weak link, with OTA updates and AI features raising new concerns.83% of drivers want transparency into software supply chains, fearing third-party components.Andreas Biehl, Head of Mercedes-Benz Apps and MBUX: “We have the responsibility for user experience, but also to launch and run the whole product through comprehensive security and data-compliance processes.”ChatGPT is now driving meaningful traffic to major e-commerce players, signaling a shift in how consumers discover and shop for products online — and not everyone is playing along.In August, ChatGPT drove 20% of Walmart's referral traffic, 15% for Target, and over 20% for Etsy.OpenAI's own study says 2% of ChatGPT queries — about 50 million a day — involve shopping.Amazon blocked ChatGPT from crawling its listings, losing nearly 18% of its AI-driven traffic month-over-month.Amazon is betting on its own AI bot “Rufus” while retailers like Walmart are welcoming outside traffic.“This traffic will not be free in the future,” said analyst Juozas Kaziukėnas. “But for now, it's a gold rush.”0:00 Intro with Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier3:51 Dealership Websites Fair Google's Core Web Vitals6:44 87% of Car BuJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

19-vuotiaan Sarah Sternin auto löytyi hylättynä keskellä yötä läheltä korkeaa siltaa joulukuisena yönä vuonna 2016. Poliisin pelkona oli, että. Sarah oli hypännyt sillalta alas ja tehnyt itsemurhan. Yksi Sarahin parhaimmista ystävistä vahvisti poliisin teorian kertomalla, että Sarah oli ollut masentunut. Sarahin katoamista olisi luultavasti tutkittu itsemurhana, ellei eräs hänen ystävistään olisi tullut poliisin puheille järkyttävien tietojen kanssa. * Tiedäthän, että tämä kuuntelemasi jakso on podcastin alkuvaiheilta.

This week's Open Mic guest is Matthew Dillon, Co-CEO of the Organic Trade Association. This week nearly 300 OTA members will celebrate "Organic Week" in Washington.Dillon says consumer demand for organic products is growing at nearly twice the pace as demand for conventional food items. Consumers purchased over $70-billion dollars of organic products last year. Dillon says OTA is hopeful for legislation to prevent fraud in imported foods and an investment in infrastructure to allow the industry to expand and meet demand.  

Here's the thing. Connecting thousands of devices is the easy part. Keeping them resilient and secure as you grow is where the real work lives. In this episode, I sit down with Iain Davidson, Senior Product Manager at Wireless Logic, to unpack what happens when connectivity, security, and operations meet in the real world. Wireless Logic connects a new IoT device every 18 seconds, with more than 18 million active subscriptions across 165 countries and partnerships with over 750 mobile networks. That reach brings hard lessons about where projects stall, where breaches begin, and how to build systems that can take a hit without taking your business offline. Iain lays out a simple idea that more teams need to hear. Resilience and security have to scale at the same pace as your device rollouts. He explains why fallback connectivity, private networking, and an IoT-optimised mobile core such as Conexa set the ground rules, but the real differentiator is visibility. If you cannot see what your fleet is doing in near real time, you are guessing. We talk through Wireless Logic's agentless anomaly and threat detection that runs in the mobile core, creating behavioural baselines and flagging malware events, backdoors, and suspicious traffic before small issues become outages. It is an early warning layer for fleets that often live beyond the traditional IT perimeter. We also get honest about risk. Iain shares why one in three breaches now involve an IoT device and why detection can still take months. Ransomware demands grab headlines, but the quiet damage shows up in recovery costs, truck rolls, and trust lost with customers. Then there is compliance. With new rules tightening in Europe and beyond, scaling without protection does not only invite attackers. It can keep you out of the market. Iain's message is clear. Bake security in from day one through defend, detect, react practices, supply chain checks, secure boot and firmware integrity, OTA updates, and the discipline to rehearse incident playbooks so people know what to do when alarms sound. What if you already shipped devices without all of that in place? We cover that too. From migrating SIMs into secure private networks to quarantining suspect endpoints and turning on core-level detection without adding agents, there are practical ways to raise your posture without ripping and replacing hardware. Automation helps, especially at global scale, but people still make the judgment calls. Train your teams, run simulations, and give both humans and digital systems clear rules for when to block, when to escalate, and when to restore from backup. I left this conversation with a simple takeaway. Growth is only real if it is durable. If you are rolling out EV chargers, medical devices, cameras, industrial sensors, or anything that talks to the network, this episode gives you a working playbook for scaling with confidence.

Former Vacasa founder and now Fairly CEO, Eric Breon, joins Jamie Lane to unpack what's actually driving bookings today—and why reviews now beat everything but rock-bottom pricing. Eric explains how the playing field shifted: pro photos, yield tools, and channel distribution are table stakes; sustained growth comes from a flywheel of 5-star guest experiences that boost ranking, conversion, and RevPAR. He also makes a provocative case that vacation-rental operations suffer diseconomies of scale—and outlines a model that blends centralized automation with hyper-local caretakers who know each home inside and out.You'll hear how Fairly separates “guest care” from “back office” to keep teams small, responsive, and review-obsessed while still benefiting from sophisticated distribution, accounting, and pricing. Eric shares candid lessons from scaling Vacasa, why they're building tech in-house (despite the cost), and where AI helps today (automation, comms assist) versus where human judgment still wins (on-the-ground knowledge and onboarding).Here are the practical takeaways you can use now: • Treat reviews as your core growth channel: a 4.9+ average materially lifts RevPAR and ranking, creating a compounding advantage. • Centralize what software does best (pricing rules, taxes, distribution, smart locks, messaging templates) and localize what guests feel (cleanliness, quick fixes, clear answers). • Price strategy should reflect owner goals: “hold high” for personal-use homes vs. “fill Tuesdays” for pure investments—your system should support both. • Start strong on launch: design, amenities, and first-wave reviews set your long-term trajectory. • Direct vs. OTA is a balance: repeat guests lock in future seasons, but channel conversion still matters for momentum.Don't miss this episode!Sign up for AirDNA for FREE

He grew up in the Cook Islands, left for business school, and planned on a career far from home—until a family visit collided with a national crisis. The government was broke, tourism was collapsing, and the prime minister asked him to help. Tata Crocombe wrote a recovery plan, stepped in as an accidental hotelier, and rebuilt from the ground up—stabilizing a flagship on Rarotonga and later growing a portfolio that now includes an acclaimed private-island resort on Aitutaki. Along the way, the destination rebounded from roughly 20,000 annual visitors to about 180,000, with ownership and hospitality rooted in the local community. Today on the show, I'm joined by Tata Crocombe, owner-operator of The Rarotongan and Aitutaki Lagoon Private Island Resort in the Cook Islands—and a self-described AI-first hotelier. For Tata, AI isn't branding; it's throughput. His teams now co-pilot with models every day: wedding quotes that used to take three hours take thirty minutes, reservations productivity has doubled, and direct conversions are up more than 100%—millions steered from OTA commissions back to the P&L. The goal isn't fewer humans; it's better work for more humans. AI clears the paperwork so staff can deliver the moments guests actually remember. We also zoom out. Tata sees leisure shifting from “bed + breakfast” to membership-style communities built around passions—outrigger canoeing today, thousands of micro-affinities tomorrow. Big flags will splinter from dozens of brands to hundreds; independents will sharpen identity; and individual properties will matter more than the mothership. Social will spark desire, AI will personalize and convert, and owner–brand contracts will get far more flexible. Underneath it all sits a broader scorecard: guest joy, staff wellbeing, operational efficiency, profitability—and being a good neighbor to the island and the environment.   Visit The Rarotongan's website to book and learn more.
