New capabilities to attract bookings, increase revenue and simplify property management \u2013 Vrbo Sponsored Listings<\/strong> now available globally with no upfront cost for partners<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In one of its biggest moves to date in the vacation rentals sector, Expedia Group is introducing 12 new products and features<\/strong> for the Vrbo and Escapia platforms, seeking to strengthen its position in the rapidly evolving short-term and vacation rental market.<\/p>\n

The new capabilities cover a wide range of needs for property owners and professional property managers: from increasing visibility and attracting more bookings<\/strong> to automating guest communication, cancellation policies and payment management.<\/p>\n

As Tim Rosolio, Vice President of Vacation Rental Partnerships at Expedia Group, stated, the company is entering a \u201cparticularly exciting era\u201d for the vacation rentals sector, with investments that, according to the company, aim both to improve the traveler experience and support the growth of its partners.<\/p>\n

Vrbo: More tools for bookings and revenue<\/strong><\/h2>\n

At the center of the new strategy is Vrbo, with Expedia Group adding tools that allow partners to increase the visibility of their properties<\/strong> and leverage different pricing strategies.<\/p>\n

Advertising<\/em><\/strong> without<\/strong> upfront cost<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

One of the most important new features is Vrbo Sponsored Listings<\/strong>, which is now available globally following a pilot program with partners such as AvantStay, Vacation Rental Collective and Liquid Life Vacation Rentals.<\/p>\n

The model is based on a charge per night that is ultimately completed<\/strong>, with no upfront advertising cost. Properties can therefore gain prominent placement in Vrbo search results, with the aim of increasing visibility and, consequently, bookings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

New options for<\/em><\/strong> pricing<\/strong> and promotions<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Vrbo is also expanding its pricing and promotional management tools. Expedia Group notes that 91% of travelers<\/strong> searching for vacation rentals are influenced by deals, making promotional activities an important factor in property selection. Among the new capabilities are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Same-Day Bookings<\/strong>: Eligible partners can enable bookings up to 24 hours before arrival, seeking to capture a larger share of the last-minute traveler market.<\/li>\n
  • Limited Time Offers:<\/strong> The new feature, expected soon, will give greater visibility to properties participating during periods of high commercial activity, such as Black Friday and seasonal sales.<\/li>\n
  • Vrbo Listings on Expedia Packages:<\/strong> In the next stage, Vrbo properties will be able to be included in Expedia packages together with flights, car rentals and other elements of a trip.<\/li>\n
  • Non-refundable Rates<\/strong>: Partners will be able to offer refundable and lower-priced non-refundable rates at the same time, reaching travelers who are more price-sensitive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Emphasis<\/strong> also on the<\/em><\/strong> guest<\/strong> experience<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Expedia Group is seeking to improve not only the attraction of bookings but also the management of the stay<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    The new Welcome Guide<\/strong> brings together essential property information in one place and can automatically send guests access instructions before check-in. At the same time, managers gain the ability to schedule messages and use customizable templates<\/strong> through the platform\u2019s inbox.<\/p>\n

    The features already available also include two new flexible cancellation policies<\/strong>, with the option of a full refund up to five days or up to one day before check-in, depending on the partner\u2019s choice.<\/p>\n

    Finally, Host with Confidence<\/strong> is in a pilot phase, a new host protection program designed to address financial risks related, among other things, to guest damage, chargebacks and loss of income due to cancellations associated with damage.<\/p>\n

    Escapia: Upgrading tools for professional property managers<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Alongside Vrbo, Expedia Group is also making significant changes to Escapia,<\/strong> the company\u2019s enterprise property management platform.<\/p>\n

    A key change is the new Reservation Grid<\/strong>, which redesigns one of Escapia\u2019s most widely used tools. The new design provides a more visual and modern view of availability, bookings and quotes, while also offering the ability to create multiple offers<\/strong>, allowing managers to compare different property options and send them to the customer in one email.<\/p>\n

    The company is also gradually improving the management of bookings from third-party OTA platforms<\/strong>, with changes to folio management and commissions, while additional automation features are expected to follow.<\/p>\n

    Payments also take center stage<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Currently in a pilot phase is Vrbo Payments<\/strong>, which combines payment processing with features designed to reduce cancellations and strengthen protection against fraud and chargebacks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    At the same time, the solution provides access to members of the One Key program who make bookings using travel rewards, potentially expanding the demand that Vrbo partners can reach.<\/p>\n

    A broader strategy for the vacation rentals market<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Expedia Group\u2019s announcement shows that the company is not limiting itself to adding individual features to Vrbo, but is instead seeking to create a more complete ecosystem for industry professionals<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    The combined development of advertising, dynamic pricing and promotions, travel packages, automated communication, host protection and payments<\/strong> shows an effort to make Vrbo more competitive with the major short-term rental platforms, while Escapia serves as the operational foundation for professional property managers.<\/p>\n

    According to Joel Schoen, General Manager of Escapia, the new features are only the beginning of a broader plan for a platform that is \u201cmore intuitive, flexible, connected and intelligent,\u201d allowing professional property managers to operate more efficiently and grow their businesses.<\/p>\n

    Expedia Group notes that several of the new features are already available<\/strong>, while new capabilities will continue to be added through 2027.<\/p>\n
