    We all want more direct bookings right? More control over our businesses? Our marketing? our rules? Of course we do.

Join this movement, let's work together to really make a difference and get this #tag trending! See you on twitter #BookDirectHour with @holidayletpod 12pm uk time www.hlspod.com/bookdirecthour

Chris is the founder of I-Prac, the verification platform that approves property owners and rental agencies around the world, protecting travellers from rental fraud. What that means in real terms though - is protecting families planning exciting holidays and looking forward to creating special memories together from arriving on their long planned and awaited trip only to find their dream villa they paid that huge £5k deposit for….doesn’t actually exist.
