VacationRoost Announces Name Change to LeisureLink

LeisureLink brand to represent industry’s most comprehensive vacation rental distribution offering

Salt Lake City, UT—December 2, 2014 – VacationRoost Group Inc. today announced plans to change

the company name to LeisureLink. The change signals the company’s commitment to its business to

business (B2B) product and service offerings which enable vacation rentals suppliers and resort

properties to optimize the distribution of their products. VacationRoost acquired LeisureLink earlier this

year and consolidated both companies’ B2B product offerings. The current suite of B2B services

includes: distribution, reservations, and technology solutions to drive booking growth for lodging

suppliers.

“Everything we have learned as a company working with suppliers and consumers of vacation rental

lodging is now available to our valued vacation rental partners to help them grow their business,” said

Julian Castelli, CEO of LeisureLink. “Vacation property managers are under urgent pressure to increase

bookings and revenue for their increasingly savvy property owners. LeisureLink helps property managers

do so by providing integrated, easy-to-use access to all major online distribution channels, so managers

can drive occupancy and RevPar – without increasing staff.”

LeisureLink’s Distribution Service gives vacation rental suppliers the opportunity to distribute their

inventory to the world’s largest travel distribution network. This network includes all of the major OTAs

like Expedia, Booking.com, and Orbitz, specialty vacation rental channels like VacationRoost and

Villas.com, and most major GDS and tour operator channels. Unlike managing individual relationships

with a variety of discrete online distribution channels manually – or worse, with a tool designed for

hotels - LeisureLink offers property managers a more effective, more efficient approach to driving

bookings, supported by experts in the vacation rental market.

LeisureLink’s Reservation Service supplies on-demand phone reservations sales agents, and manages

suppliers’ entire phone reservations team or overflow capacity at peak times.

LeisureLink’s Technology Service is comprised of booking engines, central reservations systems, third

party travel product packaging, competitive rate shopping, dynamic rate management, and channel

management tools.

The company’s consumer brands (VacationRoost, Hawaiian Beach Rentals, Mountain Reservations) will

continue to serve customers directly and will now be a featured part of LeisureLink’s overall distribution

network.
