Rental Escapes experienced a record-breaking year of sales, growth, and expansion in 2023, in part thanks to the efforts of the travel advisor community.
Throughout 2023, the luxury villa rental company saw a significant increase in its travel advisor business. The company made large investments in the continuous education and support of travel advisors throughout the year.
Among the new investments were “Keys to Success” monthly webinars, ready-to-go emails, a social media library, weekly “Wednesdays with Willie” sessions, and a new industry-first rewards programs for advisors.
“2023 was an extraordinary year for Rental Escapes, marked by unprecedented growth and achievement,” said Brian Schwimmer, CEO of Rental Escapes. “Our record-breaking performance underscores our unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional service and curated villa experiences to our value guests.”
To support its rapid growth, Rental Escapes expanded its internal teams across various departments, including its concierge, marketing, technology, training, and sales teams.
The company also expanded its villa inventory to include new destinations and properties, adding several areas including Colombia, Curacao, Denmark, and New Zealand to its portfolio.
