VEM Global Adds Vacation Rentals Directory to ResortsandLodges.com

VEM Global, parent company of ResortsandLodges.com and a leader in providing complete marketing solutions for the hospitality industry, is pleased to announce a new vacation rentals directory on ResortsandLodges.com.

Cottage Grove, MN – June 22, 2011In response to requests from several clients, as well as millions of travelers, VEM Global has added a vacation rentals directory to ResortsandLodges.com. Now, in addition to overall resort and lodge listings, companies and private rental homeowners will have the opportunity to showcase their rental properties individually and inexpensively to ResortsandLodges.com’s global audience.

“ResortsandLodges.com strives to be the best tool for travelers to plan their vacations, as well as the best platform for vacation property owners to connect with those travelers. This new vacation rentals directory will give homeowners and travelers alike the chance to find thousands of destinations across the globe on one familiar, trusted source,” President and Co-Founder Ryan Bailey said.

The vacation rental industry has seen a considerable boom in recent years, both for property owners and travelers. According to a recent survey by HomeAway.com, more than 6 million vacation properties were being rented out to travelers in the U.S. and Europe, generating over $85 billion in income in 2010. HomeAway also reports that 81 percent of people traveling this summer are traveling for pleasure, and of that 81 percent, 68 percent are choosing vacation rentals.

“I am thrilled to see that ResortsandLodges are expanding to vacation rentals. They are an important part of the tourism sector, and I’m excited to be a part of it from the beginning,” Shari Goldstein, President at Carolina Mornings Realty, said. “We get a lot of traffic from ResortsandLodges.com, and I think the new directory and their powerful SEO will drive us even more traffic and prove to be very financially productive.”
