I must admit I was excited to see what FairbookingUK.com was doing to stem the onslaught of the Online Travel Agency fees but substituting one OTA for another fee based system is just another disappointing con.
Proof is the following excerpt from their site.
What will it cost?
There is no sign up cost to join FairBooking or to feature on the national website, www.fairbookinguk.com. However, any bookings you receive through the website will be subject to (the standard Guestlink) 10% commission (inc Vat) collected a month after the guest has stayed.

Therefore:
Dear FairbookingUK.com,
When educating the public to book direct for the benefit of local tourism/economy please don't try to pretend substitution is change.
