Moving with the times… as most families no longer consist of Mum, Dad & 2.2 children, more often flexible sleeping arrangements are key in securing a booking. Trying to accommodate teenage stepsisters and brothers who can’t/won’t share a room or ensuring Grandma is not kept awake all night by a young baby is Mum’s priority. Making sure you furnish the property with beds and sofa beds that are adaptable (zip up twin /doubles are great) and that your Property Management Company can provide extra beds, cots or even a neighbouring property for large groups will help catch those extra bookings.
Keeping in touch…whilst most people look forward to a holiday to get away from it all the same prospect for a growing number of people fills them with horror . For the busy couple who have a business to run and need to check in daily, or the family who cannot cope with an “offline” surly teenager for two weeks, a holiday without being to check e-mails, facebook updates , video conferences or i-phone downloads can bring it’s own stress. If you have wi-fi or an internet connection advertise it - if you don’t then be certain to mention the nearest internet café to your property !
Independence with added security…long gone are the days of everyone who travelled abroad going on a full package holiday, however no matter how well travelled people are they always appreciate that added security of having someone in resort to count on should they need to. From the little things of being able to ask where the nearest market is held or which is the best Waterpark for 8-year-olds, to the more pressing problems of locking yourself out at 2am or needing a helping hand in medical emergencies. If you have a Property Management Company in resort to meet & look after your guests 24/7 if needed then let them know –it could be the clincher !
