Exciting news for vacation rental property managers! Tropical Escape Holidays is officially integrating with CiiRUS, offering a powerful new channel to maximize bookings and expand into international markets. With this integration, CiiRUS users gain direct access to a unique distribution platform that connects properties to high-value travel agencies across the UK and beyond.
Founded in 2006 by Matthew Daniel, Tropical Escape has built a reputation for exceptional service and industry expertise. As General Manager, KellyAnn Beach has been an integral part of the company since 2016, overseeing both Tropical Escape Vacation Homes and Tropical Escape Holidays. With deep-rooted knowledge in property management and wholesale distribution, the company has created a groundbreaking way for property managers to reach top-tier booking agents. We spoke with KellyAnn for a deeper dive on what CiiRUS users can expect when they connect to Tropical Escape Holidays
According to KellyAnn, "With the launch of Tropical Escape Holidays, we’ve taken what we know about property management and working with international wholesale partners and provided the ability to give direct booking platform access to agents booking holiday packages from the biggest travel agencies in the UK and other markets in the future. Access to these agents for bookings to the door isn’t available any other way, we’ve been able to do something the industry doesn’t have the ability to do."
This integration means that CiiRUS users can now tap into a completely new booking stream that would otherwise be inaccessible.
One of the standout advantages of listing with Tropical Escape Holidays is the complete transparency and control given to property managers. As KellyAnn explains, "Tropical Escape Holidays doesn’t charge any fees or have property management partners pay us commissions. They get to set their pricing and fees and determine exactly what information and properties they want to offer. CiiRUS clients will have a seamless and significantly faster integration and go-live time to have their properties go live to all wholesaler portals."
In short, property managers enjoy a hassle-free experience with full control over their listings, ensuring they maximize revenue without unnecessary costs.
When asked about property preferences, KellyAnn noted, "Townhouses and single-family homes are always the preferred option. While there has been a shift to resort communities and communities with some sort of amenity access, there is still some demand for more established communities that may have a more flexible price point."
To ensure a smooth and professional experience for both partners and guests, Tropical Escape Holidays maintains clear guidelines. KellyAnn emphasized the importance of agreements and compliance, stating, "We are honest with all partners and do send agreements to anyone we are working with to ensure that both parties are covered in understanding the payment terms of receiving their funds as well as the health and safety requirements that must be followed for all bookings."
This commitment to transparency and professionalism helps ensure a seamless partnership for all involved.
For property managers eager to increase bookings from international travelers, the exposure provided by Tropical Escape is game-changing. As KellyAnn describes it, "CiiRUS users are getting their properties direct access to desired markets. No longer relying on AOA models, this gives each CiiRUS user the chance to put forth their top product that they have been wanting to have booked by these markets."
Beyond just connecting properties to a lucrative booking channel, Tropical Escape Holidays is dedicated to supporting its partners every step of the way. KellyAnn reassures CiiRUS users, saying, "We are all partners in this. We want CiiRUS users to be successful when they list their homes with us and we will be here to support them. Their success is our success, and we will make sure they have what they need to do that. They will have access to the Tropical Escape Holidays team to ask questions and directly work with us from booking day to post-departure."
With its seamless integration into CiiRUS, Tropical Escape Holidays is offering property managers an unparalleled opportunity to boost bookings and expand into high-demand international markets. If you're a CiiRUS user looking to take your vacation rental business to the next level, this is your chance to connect with a revolutionary booking channel and unlock new revenue potential.
