A Chat With Steve Kopandy

Next up in our series of Book Direct Show speaker interviews, Deborah Labi chats with Steve Kopandy of the Cycle Cities Tours and the Book Direct Symposium.

Steve talks about hotels, short-term rentals, price parity regulation, tour operators, 30% commissions, the Book Direct Symposium, branding and why we should refer to OTAs as tech companies.

We also speak about Mills and Boon, airline codeshares, collaboration, being blackmailed by an OTA, getting website names into photos and gas stoves.
