Should I launch a direct-booking website?

The answer
Evaluate whether you have lawful operations, accurate information, a workable reservation process, and a realistic way to attract appropriate guests. A website alone does not create demand. Include payment, terms, calendar, taxes, privacy, support, and coverage in the plan.
Compare the total cost and work with other channels. Start only when the process can deliver what the site promises.
