Pegasus launching new online rental shopping tool
Pegasus Solutions, which says it is the world’s “leading provider of technology and services to hotels and travel distribution,” is teaming up with Vacation Rental Manager Association (URMA) to launch what it calls an “unprecedented online vacation rental shopping” vehicle.
|“For travelers seeking and booking vacation rentals online, the millions of diverse choices can certainly seem overwhelming,” said Steve Trover, president of the VRMA. He added:
“Working together with Pegasus, we’re developing a solution that improves the shopping experience by setting new, consistent standards for how vacation rentals are presented and sold online. This also streamlines the process for vacation rental managers themselves, who will be able to automate the distribution of their properties through a single platform for the first time.”
“The new interface will improve online vacation rental shopping, while also enabling vacation rental managers to more easily merchandise their properties,” Pegasus says.
The VRS will first launch with www.DiscoverVacationHomes.com its official public resource on vacation rental travel. With the VRS, the site will be capable of allowing travelers to find and book professionally managed vacation rental properties from hundreds of the world’s most reputable companies in real-time.
“Representing one of the fastest-growing hospitality markets, the vacation rental industry faces many distribution challenges as managers must navigate disparate standards, methods of rate management, inventory and other content,” according to Pegasus.
Distribution channels, for their part, are challenged with providing a consistent shopping experience across a highly fragmented and specialized supplier base.
“As the vacation rental market has grown in popularity, it makes sense for the professionally managed vacation rental segment to adopt the same revenue generating tools hotels have,” said Mike Kistner, chief executive officer of Pegasus Solutions. He added:
“We’re pleased to have a committed partner in VRMA that is willing to pave this way for all professional vacation rental management companies.”
