AuctionVillas.com Putting UK Villa Rentals on the Auction Block
London, United Kingdom, April 06, 2005 --(PR.com)-- Last week marked the online debut of AuctionVillas.com, a new auction Website that caters exclusively to the UK travel segment. Launched on April 1, 2005, villa owners who list their properties on the site will benefit from greater exposure, more frequent occupancies and, hence, increased rental profits. The UK holiday villa listing and bidding process is currently open at www.AuctionVillas.com.
AuctionVillas.com offers users of the site a variety of built-in management tools that make auction setup, monitoring and bid closing a breeze. Best of all, registration and account creation are absolutely free, with no hidden upfront fees. Villa owners are only assessed a transaction charge, which is based on the winning bid price, when an auction successfully closes.
AuctionVillas.com isn’t just for villa owners who are seeking to rent out their properties, however. It also affords travelers to the UK name-your-price versatility in booking their holiday stays. At the same time, it gives them access to a variety of vacation villa options in one convenient location.
According to the 2004 edition of Travelers’ Use of the Internet, 65% of the world’s 98.3 million travelers are currently online. That means that in 2004, 68.9 million travelers used the Internet to make their travel plans. Use of the Internet for actual travel booking is also increasing at a rapid pace, with 44.6 million travelers having booked their stays online in the past year. Of those, 67%, or 29.9 million, booked their overnight lodging accommodations via the Web. AuctionVillas.com aims to target this growing Internet travel segment by offering UK accommodation seekers auction bidding excitement and the associated cost savings.
The Auction Software Review, the online guide to eBay software and services, estimates that at any given moment there are 15,480 travel auctions listed on the online auction giant site, placing travel in the Top 25 most popular categories. While eBay is increasingly becoming more of a global marketplace, it still caters to a predominantly US market. Hence, visitors to the site are hard-pressed to find UK vacation deals. At the same time, UK villa rentals are mixed in with a pool of non-UK travel bargains, making it difficult for them to stand out or be discovered by their target audience. AuctionVillas.com eliminates this quandary by bringing UK rental property owners and the travelers seeking such accommodations together.
