Work Log

• Thinking about why this experience doesn't exist now:
  • There are already plenty of distribution options for fishing lodges from aggregators like Booking.com to Airbnb, to social media and owned websites, as well as traditional travel agency channels. What they really need is a way to re-engage past guest, maximize occupancy, etc. Distribution seems like it's mostly a solved problem. That's my hypothesis.
