Looking at it purely financially, we are over in a couple of weeks for 20 nights and are paying €70/night for a family room direct to the owners. If I were to book with TUI, which I could, the owners would see €12/night of that money. Bit of a difference in their pockets.

That's a stark difference.

This is certainly what we have been told by owners there, although it seemed to be hush, hush. Not checked it out for years now, but it was also a lot cheaper to book ourselves. Now it's more the convenience of travelling when and how we want.
Jimbo:
Of course the apartment owners get a lot less with the travel companies, but they do have the advantage of huge website and shop presence, and not having to handle all the complexities of taking bookings and payments themselves. Lesley's excellent CorfuSelections.com has massively helped independent owners to obtain bookings.
There is still some possibility of compensation for a cancelled or severely altered flight, although not quite as generous as what was available when the UK was in the EU.

How does that benefit the apartment owners?
