The person behind it

The founder, owner or manager travelers meet on your listing. Recommended, not required.

Add the person behind your business

Find this on your dashboard under The person behind it. Travelers like to know who they'll meet: it appears on your listing as “The people of” your business, with a round photo.

  1. 1Type their name, their role (like Founder, or Owner and guide) and, if you like, a few words about them, in their own words: we show them exactly as written, without rewriting or polishing. Press Save.

  2. 2Then add their photo: choose a photo, tick the box confirming it's a real photo of this person who has agreed to be shown, and press Add the photo. A clear head-and-shoulders photo works best, because it's shown small and round.

More detail
  • Name and role: up to 60 characters each. The few words: up to 600.
  • We check the words before they're shown, only against our rules (no contact details, web addresses, prices or sales lines). We don't rewrite them, unlike your listing text.
  • The photo is checked for safety and that it shows a person (from any angle, alone or with others), with its hidden information removed.
  • One person for now; more team members come later.
