I worked in the same co-working space as SA back in New York about 2 years ago and I can say without a doubt that the team behind SA hustled their asses off day in and day out. SA was the only crew in that space that seemed to work as much or more than I did, even going so far as to opening a cafe (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.adventurecafe.nyc" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.adventurecafe.nyc</a>) in the tiny little pop-up space in Lower East Side that businesses were failing in left and right. Kyle&#x27;s post here is great, but it doesn&#x27;t quite touch on the fact that this team was crushing it all week long to make it happen. Incredibly nice people as well.

&gt; So while I was working on the site, which at the time had no traffic, I went out to every single OTA (online travel agency) and third-party reseller site and said, &quot;Look how many tickets we&#x27;re selling through just one channel! You should get in on this!&quot; And I just set up as many channels as I could find to fund the next stage. It&#x27;s very common for tour operators to have either no tech or bad tech, so it wasn&#x27;t that weird to these channels.<p>I really like this! Lots of people I talk to think: I will put this on the internet and people will find me. Hustling to get to your crowd is a great way to make sure you get consistent traffic. Kudos on this

I was curious what the 125,000&#x2F;mo referred to: it&#x27;s their gross sales on trip bookings, not their actual final cut. The author doesn&#x27;t delve into margins (that said, not trying to downplay the accomplishment in any way).

Why does it say &#x27;Annual Recurring Revenue&#x27; on their chart? How is it &#x27;Recurring&#x27;, it&#x27;s not like it&#x27;s subscription based? It&#x27;s straight up revenue.

Two pop-overs and a chat window in less than 5 seconds. I guess they really work?

From personal experience in consumer-facing travel.<p>Google made quite a bit of changes to the algorithm and hurt almost every travel product in favor of it&#x27;s own products.<p>I wonder if you were effected by this at all and what did you do to deal with it?

Question for the Sourced Adventures founder: do you know what happened with LivingSocial&#x27;s acquisition of Urban Escapes in October 2010?<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dealbook.nytimes.com&#x2F;2010&#x2F;10&#x2F;20&#x2F;livingsocial-buys-urban-escapes" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dealbook.nytimes.com&#x2F;2010&#x2F;10&#x2F;20&#x2F;livingsocial-buys-ur...</a>

Only tangentially related, but is there an OTA that doesn&#x27;t go for the hard sell? E.g. popups galore, notications, spammy email? If so, I will spend every dollar of my future travel expenditure with that company.

Wow, I just visited their website and it&#x27;s awful. I saw a total of 4 or 5 different popup widgets[1]. What a nightmare.<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;EMdObEd.jpg" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;EMdObEd.jpg</a>
