Kos, Greece – November 2025 – The hospitality industry is about to witness a paradigm shift in how independent properties access global distribution channels. YesBooked Ltd, in partnership with Verano Touristic Hotels Synergy, announces the official launch of the Boutique Network—a selective global hotel inventory distribution platform set to revolutionize Mediterranean hospitality in January 2026.
A New Era for Independent Hotel Distribution
The hotel distribution landscape has long favored major chains and massive OTA platforms, leaving independent properties struggling to compete. The Boutique Network changes this dynamic by offering carefully curated Mediterranean properties premium access to Turkish and global markets through strategic partnerships with industry leaders Paximum and Hotelbeds.
“We’re not building another mass-market listing platform,” explains the founder of YesBooked Ltd, who holds an MSc from the UK and brings extensive director-level experience across international hotel operations. “The Boutique Network is fundamentally different. We’re selective, we’re curated, and we’re committed to quality over quantity.”
Understanding the Market Gap
Independent Mediterranean properties face a consistent challenge: exceptional quality without corresponding distribution power. Beautiful boutique hotels on Greek islands, authentic family-run villas in Croatia, and characterful accommodations across Turkey all share the same problem—they can’t access premium distribution channels that major hotel chains take for granted.
Traditional online travel agencies (OTAs) offer visibility but at a steep cost. Commission rates ranging from 18% to 25%, payment delays stretching months, and positioning among thousands of undifferentiated listings create an unsustainable model for independent operators.
The Boutique Network addresses these pain points directly through:
Selective Curation: Not every property qualifies. YesBooked maintains strict quality standards, ensuring the network’s reputation benefits all partners.
Premium Distribution: Direct integration with reliable partners, provides market access that would take independent properties years to develop alone.
Payment Guarantee: YesBooked guarantees 100% of payments to partner properties, eliminating the cash flow challenges that plague traditional OTA relationships. Partners receive funds monthly or bi-monthly, regardless of guest payment issues.
Strategic Partnership with Verano Touristic Hotels Synergy
The Boutique Network operates as the distribution arm of Verano Touristic Hotels Synergy, a hospitality consulting and management company with a proven track record of increasing hotel revenue across Mediterranean markets.
This partnership provides YesBooked with:
Operational Expertise: Deep understanding of Mediterranean hospitality operations and revenue management
Professional Network: Established relationships across Europe, the UK, Turkey, and expanding Asian markets
Credibility: Partnership with a respected consulting firm validates the platform’s professional approach
Resources: Access to technology providers, industry experts, and market specialists
“Verano Touristic Hotels Synergy has spent years building relationships and understanding what independent properties need to succeed,” notes the YesBooked founder. “The Boutique Network translates that knowledge into a distribution platform that actually works for boutique operators.”
Technology Meets Personal Partnership
The January 2026 launch represents months of development, partnership negotiation, and platform refinement. YesBooked’s technology infrastructure integrates seamlessly with:
Platforms that providing direct access to Turkish travellers, one of the Mediterranean’s most valuable source markets. With 2 million potential travellers and strong demand for Greek islands, Croatian coast, and Turkish resorts, the Turkish market represents significant revenue opportunity for Mediterranean properties.
Despite sophisticated technology, YesBooked maintains a boutique approach to partnership. Each property receives dedicated support from a partner manager who understands their unique characteristics, responds within hours, and actively advocates for their success.
Geographic Focus and Expansion Plans
The January 2026 launch focuses on Mediterranean properties across:
Greece: Islands and mainland destinations serving as the network’s founding market
Croatia: Adriatic coast properties with authentic character
Turkey: Aegean and Mediterranean resorts and boutique hotels
Albania: Emerging destination with untapped potential
Montenegro: Coastal gems seeking wider distribution
Cyprus: Year-round destination properties
Malta: Island hospitality with historical character
Phase two expansion, planned for late 2026, will extend the network into Asian markets, bringing Mediterranean properties to emerging source markets in Southeast Asia and beyond.
What Sets the Boutique Network Apart
Selectivity as Competitive Advantage: The Boutique Network’s application process evaluates properties on authentic character, quality standards, competitive pricing, reliable partnership, and guest experience potential. This selectivity creates a FOMO (fear of missing out) effect—properties want to join because not everyone can.
“Partnering for Growth” Philosophy: YesBooked treats each property’s revenue as its own. When partners succeed, YesBooked succeeds. This alignment of incentives contrasts sharply with traditional OTA models where platform profits don’t necessarily correlate with individual property success.
Foundation Support and Social Responsibility: The Boutique Network commits to supporting foundations and sustainable tourism initiatives, recognising hospitality’s responsibility to communities and environments that make travel experiences possible.
Transparent Performance: Unlike platforms that hide performance data, YesBooked provides complete visibility into booking sources, market performance, and revenue optimisation opportunities.
Industry Expert Perspectives
The hotel distribution industry has recognised the need for alternatives to mass-market OTA dominance. Independent properties increasingly seek partners who understand their unique value propositions rather than treating them as commoditized inventory.
“The independent hotel sector has been underserved by existing distribution platforms,” industry analysts note. “Selective networks that curate quality properties and provide premium positioning represent the future of boutique hotel distribution.”
The timing aligns with broader industry trends toward authentic travel experiences. Travellers increasingly seek properties with character, local flavor, and distinctive experiences—exactly the type of properties the Boutique Network curates.

Looking Ahead
The January 2026 launch of the Boutique Network marks a significant moment for Mediterranean independent hospitality. For the first time, exceptional properties without major chain resources can access premium global distribution channels with guaranteed payments, transparent performance tracking, and personal partnership support.
“We’re not just launching a platform,” the YesBooked founder emphasises. “We’re building a movement that proves quality beats quantity, authenticity beats commoditisation, and selective networks outperform mass markets.”
As the hospitality industry evolves beyond pandemic recovery toward sustainable growth, platforms like the Boutique Network demonstrate that technology and personal service aren’t mutually exclusive—they’re most powerful in combination.
