With the launch of the free-for-life account travel professionals from across the globe have been signing up and experiencing first hand the benefits of using a system like IAVRA. There are currently 2000+ travel professional users: 850+ independent travel companies from 56 countries and 170+ property management companies. The booming activity on the site reflects the growing trend for booking vacation rentals over hotels. And with an exclusive portfolio of 4700+ villas, chalets, lodges, cottages and apartments across 51 countries, IAVRA is fast becoming the go-to vacation rental platform for agents looking for vetted, professionally managed properties that guarantee them a minimum 10% commission.
As Partner JC Moquette explains: "We understand that unlike hotels the vacation rental market is unregulated, fragmented and for many agents it is unchartered territory. And yet travellers are increasingly looking for alternative accommodation options, so it is a market that agents should tap into. With a system like IAVRA, agents are instantly given the tools and assurances that make it easy to offer vetted vacation rentals efficiently and cost effectively, all while making great commissions."
IAVRA's new free-for-life account gives all travel professionals an opportunity to try out vacation rentals with no financial commitment. Since launching the new basic account, 100s of searches are being done daily on the platform resulting in 100s of credible enquiries being received by IAVRA property agents. The top worldwide searches this month have been for properties in Mexico, Hawaii, Greece and Florida. And across Europe, IAVRA agents have been searching for vacation rentals in London, Mykonos, Patmos, St Tropez, Tuscany and Ibiza.
IAVRA is committed to constantly improving the vacation rental process for travel professionals and providing a standardized platform that is comprehensive, trade-friendly, and most important, facilitates business. The free account gives the occasional to moderate user immediate access to do searches, send out branded brochures and service their requests with ease. For more active users, IAVRA's premium accounts offer the extra tools and functionality to help agents generate leads, secure bookings, establish relationships with suppliers, and ultimately make vacation rentals a core offering.
