VACANDO, the holiday home marketplace of Hotelplan and Migros, is expanding its service offering. As a subsidiary of industry leader Interhome, VACANDO will offer to its home owners local services in more than 50 destinations throughout France, Switzerland and Spain.
Vacando to offer Interhome's owner's services
These range from cleaning, key holding and laundry service, to repair and maintenance work.
According to Vacando, currently many owners would like to market their holiday homes over the Internet by themselves, however very often fail to do so due to logistical difficulties. Few owners live close-by to their holiday rental and therefore cannot perform activities such as cleaning and handing over of keys by themselves. VACANDO attempts to solve this issue. As a subsidiary of Interhome, a leading European provider of holiday homes that operates local service centers in more than 50 destinations, landlords listed on VACANDO can now use the service offering that Interhome offers its owners. The services range from key holding, cleaning, laundry service up to inventory and repair work. Individually defined services are also possible.
While VACANDO is an online portal where the owner can market their properties independently, Interhome, in contrary, is a full service provider, that handles the marketing of the holiday home and that takes care of the guests locally. The clearing and billing is based on clearly defined standard rates.
“We are the only pure online portal where the landlord can market their holiday homes themselves, but at the same time can make use of on-site services of a reputable partner. We differentiate ourselves from the virtual-only competition and are confident that we can strengthen our successful positioning in the rental market and further expand our business “said Kilian Eyholzer, CEO of VACANDO AG.
