How To Sink Your Marketing Budget (What not to do)
Most businesses don’t set out to waste their marketing budget. In fact, the opposite is true. They invest with good intentions – hoping to generate more leads, increase bookings, and grow revenue.

OTAs Aren’t The Enemy But Dependency On Them Is OTAs have their place. They provide visibility, especially when you’re building brand awareness or entering new markets.
