The Vacation Company Announces Sharp Increase For 2010 - 2011 Weekly Vacation Rentals In Hilton Head Island

Posted: 24 Jun 2010 12:00 AM PDT

Hilton Head Island vacation rentals have soared in recent weeks, according to industry numbers. Adding to this momentum, The Vacation Company continues to encourage families to take advantage of unusual seasonal discounts.

(PRWEB) June 24, 2010 -- Inquiries and bookings for Hilton Head vacation rentals have risen sharply in recent weeks. After holding out through severe winter conditions and a lackluster economy, Americans feel ready to reward themselves for good behavior. According to a Vacation Company spokesperson, "the travel and tourism market has turned around dramatically this month. As Hilton Head continues to stand out as a premier family destination, we are seeing reservations climb exponentially."

Experts maintain that the steep increase in vacation planning is a good indicator of a healing economy. With only half a year behind us, and at least two major geological disasters to recover from, people understand the importance of spending quality family time together. This is great news for the industry, as we haven't seen numbers spike like this in years. It is certainly a sign that people are feeling much more hopeful about the future, that they are planning a leisure event or family vacation rental.

Does this translate to more revenue for other Hilton Head merchants and property owners? Absolutely. The sharp up-tick felt in the real estate market has had a ripple effect on the vacation travel industry. The last-minute reservations can make or break the financial outlook for many business owners. Many travelers are capitalizing on the special hot deals on vacation rentals being offered at the Vacation Company this year, like the $300 discount on a weekly oceanfront villa when available.

Founded in 1987 on Hilton Head Island, The Vacation Company is a short-term rental and property management firm that handles 300 top-quality villas and custom homes on Hilton Head Island. As one of the fastest-growing vacation rental companies on the island, we strive to live up to the standard we have set and beyond when it comes to providing the best service to our guests and excellent returns for our property owners.

TripAdvisor Gets Serious About Vacation Rentals, Buys UK’s Holiday Lettings

Posted: 24 Jun 2010 02:35 AM PDT

Travel website operator TripAdvisor, an Expedia company, this morning announced it has acquired Holiday Lettings, credited as being the UK's largest independent vacation rental website.

The seller is Rightmove, a UK-based property website operator, having sold its majority interest in the holding company of Holiday Lettings to TripAdvisor for an undisclosed sum. Rightmove acquired a 66.67% stake in Holiday Lettings in March 2007, and recently said it intended to report Holiday Lettings as a discontinued operation in its half yearly report, with the gross assets disposed of totalling £1 million.

The acquisition follows the launch of vacation rentals on TripAdvisor in 2009, and the purchase of a majority stake in United States-based FlipKey.com in 2008.
