HomeAway Incorporated, one of the world leaders in online vacation rentals, has just announced the addition of seven online partners to the HomeAway Software for Professionals (HASP) Group which is comprised of Instant, Inc. (Instant Software) and Escapia, Inc.
By using one of two software packages, either ISILink from Instant Software or EscapiaNet from Escapia, data hubs that are connecting reservation systems to the internet as well as additional integrated business services, HASP customers may now choose from a network of over 60 participating websites in order to advertise their rental properties and gain access to millions of travelers searching for property-managed vacation rentals online.
According to General Manager of HASP Bill Furlong, “More than ever, vacation rental managers recognize that their success depends on getting their homes in front of consumers searching online for vacation homes. We’re committed to making it easy to access the broadest possible online distribution so our customers can be the most successful in the business.”
There are seven distribution partners in all joining or expanding their relationships with ISILink or EscapiaNET. The seven partners include:

In addition to that, members of the community can easily collaborate with family and friends and rate properties they have rented.

ExclusiveGetawaysHawaii.com – This site serves people searching for a memorable home in the Hawaiian Islands. This site also recently expanded their existing partnership with ISILink by also participating in the EscapiaNET distribution program. This site was created and run by property managers so it maximizes the prospect’s satisfaction and minimizes their effort in making an online vacation rental reservation.
According to Ketan Thakker from HomesRetreat.com, “We’re thrilled to join the ISILink program. The programs offered by Instant Software give me the opportunity to serve hundreds of vacation rental managers with thousands of properties. Their real-time content rate and availability information is critical not just to consumers, but to the success of managers listing their homes on our site.”
This new service will definitely help distribution partners make the most out of their rentals and is a great business opportunity for themselves, HomeAway Incorporated, ISILink Incorporated and EscapiaNET Incorporated.
