RMS and HomeAway Announce Integration Partnership
At HITEC Toronto, RMS North America President and General Manager Todd Sabo announced that integration is underway to add HomeAway to its growing list of Online Travel Agents. When complete, RMS Hospitality Solutions customers that feature fixed accommodations with kitchens (such as extended-stay hotels, vacation ownership brands, RV parks, cabins, lodges and more) will receive two-way connectivity between HomeAway and the RMS booking engine.
Initially discussions with HomeAway began to add one of RMS' customers, representing 49 RV Resorts and nearly 300 Mobile Home Parks, to the HomeAway marketplace. After further discussion, RMS saw additional synergies between its customers and the benefits of connecting more of its clients with HomeAway. The first pilot will begin soon, and subject to testing and interpretation, RMS hopes to make HomeAway an official channel partner in third quarter 2017.
HomeAway, based in Austin, Texas, has sites representing more than two million places to stay in 190 countries and is a part of the Expedia family of brands. The online vacation rental marketplace connects home owners and property managers who list their properties available for rent with travelers who choose these alternative accommodations instead of hotels.
