Hi HN, I built this app because my vacation rental guests always ask me what there is to do in the area! If a host's guests books a tour, the host will earn a commission. I'm really interested in working with vacation rental agencies, who I believe have lots of potential to up-sell their clients. Activities and tours are just the start - other vacation specific services will be available soon. Thanks for checking out TripBright!

Hi, I guess it could be useful. Although what I enjoy the most about Airbnb is interacting with the host in person. Would be interesting to know what the % split is between those like me and those that want to keep to themselves.

You could market it as a concierge platform for AirBnB hosts. Expand beyond the basic tourist-y things to recommendations on all kinds of services. Hosts could build their own content or you could sell them city bundles. It could be a way for people that run AirBnBs without actually living at the residence to give guests the same knowledge that living with a host could.

Are you working directly with tour companies? Is this something that could have been an add-on feature for sites like Viator or Peek that already have those relationships in place?

We are currently using Viator's tours. And yes, we'll be adding more tours and services from other companies that offer these things. You can see in the example guide linked on the homepage that we're transparent about who you're ultimately buying the tour from, similar to Kayak.
