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.
