Press Release: Resorts4Rent
November 17, 2004
SALT LAKE CITY, UT -- Resorts4Rent, a new web-based service for the travel industry, recently announced a new groundbreaking
technology that not only allows travel agencies access to high quality condominium resort inventory with very aggressive
commission structures, but allows them to book it on-line, in real time.
Jay Edmonson, VP Operations for Resorts4Rent, is excited about the potential this provides. “Resorts4Rent will
give travel agencies an edge because they will be able to provide their leisure travel clients with a much better
experience than hotels can offer.”
Advantages of resort condominiums over hotel rooms include the following:
Space— Most resorts offer a full kitchen, up to three bedrooms and two bathrooms, and a front room with color TV
and plenty of seating for a typical family. Even two or three hotel rooms still fall short of a typical resort
for family space.
Price— Resort rental prices are almost always for the entire unit rather than by the room or by the person. Leisure
travelers can usually rent a resort condominium with two or three bedrooms for little more than one hotel room.
Privacy— When families stay at a hotel with their kids, they must either rent two hotel rooms or forget any chance
of privacy for the parents. At a resort, the master bedroom provides more privacy.
Activities— Because resorts are geared to leisure travelers, they usually offer activities for everyone from children
to adults. From special facilities like the pool, tennis courts, and golf courses to daily activities supervised
by staff members, resorts cater to families on vacation.
Facilities— While a hotel offers a bathroom, bed, and television set in the room, most resorts feature full kitchens,
a common room with television and VCR and/or DVD player, and even a washer and dryer in the unit.
For travel agencies, the advantages of using Resorts4Rent to book reservations include an aggressive commission
structure (based on booking volume), consistent competitive pricing and availability, and access to a large number
of resorts in top destinations.
Resorts4Rent's new website (www.resorts4rent.com) is available for direct booking by travel agents. It features
cutting edge technology and access to condominium resort inventory throughout the world, any time of the year.
All travel agencies need to do is submit a brief application in advance so Resorts4Rent will be able to process
their commission checks.
“A fully-integrated solution is exactly what the travel industry needs,” Edmonson continued. “There is a huge gap
in this arena, and we are just providing the tools necessary to fill it. This is something everyone should be excited
about!”
