Pegasus Solutions and the Vacation Rental
Managers Association (VRMA) have partnered to launch a Vacation
Rental Switch (VRS) in the next 150 days.
The new interface will improve online
vacation rental shopping, while also enabling vacation rental
managers to more easily merchandise their properties.
The VRS will first launch with VRMA’s
DiscoverVacationHomes.com, its official public resource on
vacation rental travel. With the VRS, the site will be capable of
allowing travelers to find and book professionally managed
vacation rental properties from hundreds of the world’s most
reputable companies in real-time.
“For travelers seeking and booking vacation
rentals online, the millions of diverse choices can certainly seem

explained Steve Trover, president of the VRMA. “Working together
with Pegasus, we’re developing a solution that improves the
shopping experience by setting new, consistent standards for how
vacation rentals are presented and sold online. This also
streamlines the process for vacation rental managers themselves,
who will be able to automate the distribution of their properties
through a single platform for the first time.”
Representing one of the fastest-growing
hospitality markets, the vacation rental industry faces many
distribution challenges as managers must navigate disparate
standards, methods of rate management, inventory and other
content. Distribution channels, for their part, are challenged
with providing a consistent shopping experience across a highly
fragmented and specialized supplier base.
“As the vacation rental market has grown in
popularity, it makes sense for the professionally managed vacation
rental segment to adopt the same revenue generating tools hotels
have,” added Mike Kistner, chief executive officer of Pegasus
Solutions. “We’re pleased to have a committed partner in VRMA that
is willing to pave this way for all professional vacation rental
management companies.”
The VRS will be offered to professional vacation
rental management companies, who will also enjoy a facilitated
booking process by leveraging Pegasus’ RezView NG central
reservations system, as well as its UltraSwitch and UltraDirect
distribution products.
