Breaking New Ground
Part of Expedia group, Vrbo first took the vacation rental industry by storm in 1995 by introducing a new way for people to travel. They paired homeowners with travelers looking for quality places to stay, driven by one purpose: to give people the space they need to drop the distractions of everyday life and simply be together.
Since then, it’s grown into a global community of homeowners and travelers, with over two million unique properties across 190 countries. Vrbo’s algorithm makes it easy and fun to book cabins, condos, beach houses, and every kind of space in between.
Vrbo’s Top Nine
Now in its ninth year, Vrbo’s Connectivity Partner Program rewards top vacation rental software companies for their dedication to excellent tools and traveler experiences. They recognize organizations that maintain high-quality software connections to Vrbo’s global travel platform, as well as helping vacation rental property managers grow their businesses. And with just 10% of companies qualifying for Elite status in 2022, we’re proud to share the results of our commitment to you, our users.
Ahead of the Usual Vacation Crowd
As part of being recognized as industry leaders, we look forward to bringing you advanced Vrbo tools, as well as new features to pilot and integrate into the Guesty platform. We’ll also be working directly with Vrbo’s leadership team, providing feedback and helping shape future products for vacation rental property managers.
