Every OTA hides its fees differently. Here's the receipt for all of them.
Real invoices, same host, one month each:
Booking .com: 21.6% taken — £629.43 on £2,914.02 earned
Airbnb: 18.6% taken — £435.24 on £2,340.00 earned
Dtravel, Pro plan: 0% booking fee. $19/month, no commission on direct bookings.
This is a classic demonstration of Troxler’s effect. Stare at the green circle for a few moments, and the yellow circle will seemingly vanish from view
Chuck Norris held a 183-10-2 record and was a 6x world champion in full contact bare knuckle karate.
On top of that, he beat heavyweight kickboxing world champion Joe Lewis 3 consecutive times and also had a brutal sparring match with undefeated kickboxing world champion, Bill Superfoot Wallace, that lasted an hour and a half. According to Wallace, they practically stalemated and "beat the crap out of each other".
Chuck was trained in kickboxing/boxing by Benny The Jet Urquidez and was also trained in BJJ by the Gracies and Machados for 20 years. Even being able to submit Carlos Machado himself on occasion.
Chuck had a 315 Ibs bench press at 180 lbs bodyweight and was said to have a grip back in the day that nobody could escape from because he was so strong. Even Jean Claude Van Damme said he'd never fight Chuck Norris, despite being a kickboxing world champion himself.
Chuck held a 10th degree black belt in Chun Kuk Do, a 9th degree black belt in Tang Soo Do, an 8th degree black belt in Taekwondo, a 5th degree black belt in Karate, a 3rd degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and a black belt in Judo.
Rest in peace, Chuck!

This week’s product update is fiiire 🔥
More focus on customer control, credibility and conversion power than ever before!
Let’s check it out ↓
Today, we’re announcing the most important evolution in Dtravel’s history:
A move from progressive decentralization to the Nite Protocol — an unstoppable, autonomous, and open-source blockchain infrastructure network governed by code.
To bring this vision to life, we’re introducing a token stabilization plan designed to reduce TRVL’s circulating supply while driving new demand through protocol-level staking incentives.
This shift will result into two distinct but synergistic projects:
🔹 Nite Protocol: an autonomous, open-source protocol for vacation rentals, governed by code
🔹 Dtravel: a consumer product offering built on the Nite Protocol, focused on adoption and fueling network growth
What does this mean for TRVL?
🔒 50% of total supply locked
No unlock cliffs. No dilution. No liquidity sell pressure.
The circulating supply is effectively capped at 500M TRVL.
⚙️Protocol-level staking
TRVL will power property-contract staking, and protocol fees, driving listing visibility, and more.
With these changes, TRVL is now positioned as the economic engine of an unstoppable, autonomous on-chain travel protocol.
We’ve published a detailed announcement explaining why we made this transition, how the system works, and what’s next ↓

Our billion-dollar bet on the travel industry.
The next Airbnb isn’t a platform—it’s an open vacation rental listing network.
For years, OTAs have locked vacation rental supply inside closed marketplaces, extracting billions in fees from property managers and travelers. Everyone has tried to replicate Airbnb, but that’s the wrong game.
The real opportunity? A vacation rental economy built on an open-source protocol.
In our latest blog post, we breakdown:
📍 Nite Protocol – The permissionless communication layer that lets anyone access, distribute, and monetize vacation rental data.
📍AI Agents & Travel Frameworks – The next frontier for how travel will be accessed, discovered, and booked.
📍 $TRVL Value Accrual – How on-chain bookings fuel TRVL demand and why the application layer will unlock new revenue streams.
Instead of tweaking the centralized marketplace model, we’re replacing it with a decentralized network that will reshape the industry.
🚨 Read why Dtravel Direct built and an open listing network is a bigger opportunity for the TRVL community than recreate another online travel agency:
