The Problem Nobody Talks About
You're Working Hard.
The OTAs Are Getting Rich.
Every booking that comes through Viator, TripAdvisor, or Expedia costs you 20–30% off the top. On a $200 tour, that's $40–$60 gone before you even pick up the paddle or hand over the keys. Multiply that across a season and you're handing over a second salary — to a platform that doesn't even know your customers' names.

This is a live session with Q&A — not a replay dump. We cap attendance so every question gets answered.
Jay Chandler has spent years in the trenches of digital marketing for tour operators, rental operators, and powersport dealerships — watching incredible businesses hand over tens of thousands of dollars a year to platforms that treat them as inventory, not partners.
He built BookInstead to change that equation: a curated marketplace designed to sit alongside operators' direct booking efforts, not compete with them. On March 25th, he's opening the playbook and sharing exactly how his clients generate direct bookings at a fraction of the OTA cost.
This isn't a pitch session. It's a working class — bring a notepad.
