lowering commission

hi this platform and management should lower their percentage on hosting temporarily in order to help people get short breaks

What are your thoughts on who should pay for this @Ray257 

 

How increase % do you think hosts should pay to subsidise guest fees? 

I don't think lowering guest commissions will encourage leisure travellers when many countries are under lockdown or Covid restrictions 

here in the Uk we under complete lockdown so 

no-one is travelling for short breaks?

I don't think it would make any difference the leisure/short breaks market is decimated

For instance i was trying to help people relocate, gave them my bottom price yet airbnb takes 16 % on top...that put them off...

if u advertise to help local guests (within the rules to stay say 9 nights) you  can boost it again..
