FORTYEIGHT Distribution

Our city launch model

Demand scales before
supply does.

We build city demand through travel newsletters, high-reach creators and member referrals, then add hotels only when that demand can support them.

Demand-led hotel capacity

A city does not gain supply faster than it gains customers.

This protects the amount of attention available to each hotel partner and prevents the marketplace from becoming another crowded directory.
