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!
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?
From a guest's perspective, I'm not sure if I like this. If I ask for my host's recommendation about what to do or where to go, I want him to tell me what he actually think is the best idea. This product incentivizes him to instead recommend something that will make him money. But I guess if he recommends something bad, then he risks getting a negative review on AirBnB, so that helps a little bit.
If sosh.com could expand to cities more quickly, they could easily take this market; however, I do think you have an edge in that the list is curated by the host. Either way, really cool product :)
Great Idea... May be using a moving background as the banner image might add the necessary zing to the website.. Movement also kind of denotes activity.
