Benefits for property managers and hosts

The company makes it easy for property managers and vacation rental owners to advertise their properties and manage bookings online.  One of the major advantages that property managers and owners appreciate is the provided flexibility, as they can chose to set up their listing(s) as either a pay-per-booking model or a subscription model.

It keeps property managers and owners in control of their property listing by allowing them to decide on the listing’s price and the availability, as well as who is holidaying in their vacation rentals. Maximum exposure is another benefit as they reach travellers globally through more than 50 international websites.
