Altadena, CA | By giving property managers access to the same distribution channels used by major airlines and hotels, LeisureLink has opened the door to huge increases in revenue.

For example: Tartan Management, which manages the Barefoot Golf Resort in Myrtle Beach, provided LeisureLink with 259 room nights for the month of July. In turn, LeisureLink sold an astonishing 70.3 percent of the available inventory through their unique online distribution system.

“Barefoot Golf Resort received great exposure through LeisureLink’s distribution system which led to a significant increase in sales. And we were able to control the rental rates,” said Jeff Hudson of Tartan Management.

In addition to broad distribution, LeisureLink also provides Tartan with revenue management and marketing support services to maximize the resort’s exposure and generate the highest possible average daily rates. Through the LeisureLink distribution system, Barefoot Golf Resort was uniquely displayed as a vacation rental, and was listed high the results when travel agents and individual travelers searched for vacation rentals in the Myrtle Beach area.

”We’re delighted that Barefoot Golf Resort has discovered that comprehensive distribution through LeisureLink, together with competitive management of seasonal rates is giving this and other properties new tools to greatly increase their revenues and profitability,” stated Kelly Tompkins, president and founder of LeisureLink.

LeisureLink’s technology enables travel agents and consumers worldwide to book vacation rental properties online—in real time—thus strengthening the distribution channels property managers’ use to market their vacation rentals. The easy-to-use system lets property managers control their pricing and inventory, and distribute photos and other details about their properties to travel agents and consumers worldwide through LeisureLink’s global distribution partners.

“The vacation rental industry represents one of the best values in the lodging marketplace today, but until now, it’s been hard to market these individual properties to travel agents and travelers,” said Tompkins. “LeisureLink is not only delivering massive distribution, we’re also helping to lower transaction costs and boost overall revenues by accessing global markets and creating incremental revenue opportunities.”
