Jay Ellington is the founder of BookInstead.com — a commission-free booking marketplace built specifically for tour and rental operators. After watching operators lose thousands in commissions every month to platforms like Viator and TripAdvisor, Jay built an alternative. In this webinar, he's pulling back the curtain on what's actually working.
