In this episode, Jasper breaks down the three most-asked questions about pacing strategy. He reveals why STR pricing follows the exact opposite model of hotels and airlines, how fragmented ownership forces operators into a race-to-the-bottom, and the surprising scenarios where pacing BEHIND the market actually maximizes revenue.

You will hear:
