Increase Bookings Through Effective Channel Distribution

Airbnb

Airbnb was founded in 2008 in San Francisco by two designers who wanted to share their home with travellers looking for a place to stay. The birth of Airbnb transformed the short term holiday let market and today millions of hosts and guests use the platform. Bookings are also increasing year over year by about 21% in 2021 and another 21% in 2022 so there are no signs of slowing down!

If you own a holiday rental and want it to be as successful as possible, it’s important to have your property listed on Airbnb. With over 790 managed properties and counting, we are experts in the field at Airbnb property management. With optimised pricing and professional property photography, we know how to market your property the best way possible on this platform to gain more traction, bookings and therefore revenue.

VRBO

Previously known as HomeAway, Vrbo is a popular online travel agency founded in Colorado in 1995. They claim to be the first holiday rental company to offer their collection to holidaymakers online and relaunched under the Expedia Group umbrella in 2020. Today Vrbo has over two million properties listed across 190 countries so it’s one of the giants within the holiday rental industry.

The difference between Vrbo and some other OTAs such as Airbnb is that they only offer entire homes within their collection. They don’t offer single rooms, sections of homes occupied by an owner or bed and breakfasts so the platform works really well for holiday homes.

When listed with Host & Stay, your property will be featured on Vrbo where they have 44 million monthly site visitors and 48 million users so it is guaranteed maximum exposure. With our own account manager and years of experience working with HomeAway / Vrbo, your property would be marketed professionally and efficiently to increase the number of bookings.

Plum Guide, Marriott Homes & Villas and Cool Stays

If your property fits the criteria, we may also be able to list it on prestigious sites such as Plum Guide, Marriott Homes & Villas and Cool Stays. Each of these OTAs offer guests something out of the ordinary. Whether guests are looking for a luxurious stay or a completely unique experience, sites like these offer something different to the usual online travel agency and often come with a loyal audience. Take Marriott Homes & Villas for example, their Marriott Bonvoy travel programme has over 160 million members which highlights the enormity of their audience and the huge impact listing on sites like this can have for your property!
