How To Create The Ultimate Home Listing (Part 3 of 5)

Great Photos Make Great Listing

Including great, vibrant pictures in your iStopOver listing is not only a perfect way to show visitors exactly what they'll be getting if they book with you, but they also give you the best opportunity to show off just how great your space is. We've seen a dramatic difference in the number of bookings that a listing with great photos receives versus a listing with poor photos or none at all. There is really no comparison - great photos are essential to being successful on iStopOver. 

 
There are a few things to keep in mind when taking your photos to make sure they look as good as possible. This is by no means a complete list, but it should at least get you thinking about what you should be taking pictures of and how to compose them.

Hospitality comes from the people not from the Industry: Local residence charm sports fans

A city having the opportunity to host a large scale international sporting event such as the Pan American Games, the Olympics, or World Cup Soccer is a rare and special occurrence. The feeling of pride in the host city is contagious. There is a collective drive to put in extra effort so visitors and viewers from afar get a taste of its culture and distinct manner of hospitality.
