Travel Agents Can Now Access 5,000 Vacation Homes in U.S. Ski Markets

Want to Escape Florida for a Winter Vacation? Tourico Holidays Has You Covered

Orlando-based Tourico Holidays has added 5,000 vacation home properties in top ski markets across the country. The world’s fastest growing wholesale travel provider is the first to offer ski-centric vacation homes with instant bookings and the ability to bundle the product with car rentals, lift tickets, ski rental equipment, flights and more.

The Florida wholesale giant introduced its “Book by the Door” technology in 2014, giving travel agents on-location views of the exact vacation home they will be booking. Using the technology, travel suppliers can access high-resolution imagery of individually photographed vacation home properties, a detailed list of features and the specific address of the vacation home where they will be staying.

Vacationers can now reach out to a travel agent of their choice and plan an all-inclusive winter trip at very affordable rates. Tourico vacation homes are in all the major ski locations, including Breckenridge, Aspen, Vail, Lake Tahoe, Mammoth, and Park City.

The Vice President of Vacation Rentals for Tourico Holidays, Steve Caron, commented earlier today, “travel suppliers can now sell anything from a 6-bedroom villa in Tahoe to a studio apartment right at the base of Breckenridge – with the confidence that their customers are getting exactly what they want. With real-time, live bookings, clients can also bundle homes with wholesale priced flights, car rentals or even ski equipment and lift tickets. Travel agents are ultimately able to access a vacation home inventory that no other wholesaler in the world can offer – and they can increase their bottom line by creating a dynamic itinerary for their customer.”

Tourico Holidays also sells other ski-related travel products, including lift tickets, rental equipment, ski and snowboarding lessons, and other winter-related products. Travel suppliers can even have ski and snowboard equipment delivered to customers through the award-winning delivery service, Ski Butlers.

Steve Caron explains, “travelers no longer have to turn to peer-to-peer sources like Airbnb to find one-of-a-kind homes to stay at – and they don’t have to go to ten different sources to piece together their trip. Instead, people can turn to professional travel agents, who can provide both unique vacation properties and all the other components to a ski trip – at rock bottom prices.”
