Cassis Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 We exchange freely with two other B&Bs in the area plus a small, privately owned hotel-restaurant; recently we have teamed up with a British owned gite near Alençon in case anyone asks us to recommend a gite nearby. None of us charges commission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chauffour Posted July 30, 2006 Author Share Posted July 30, 2006 in South Africa is not only the B&Bs that pay commission, but also Safaris, organized tours, car rentals etc... so i hope this would make a good part of our income there, once we move permanently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
