Villas
of Distinction® Reveals Q1 Booking Trends
Shorter stays and booking further out dominate preferences
Wakefield, Mass. (April 24, 2024)
– Consumer interest and demand for luxury villa rentals continues to grow and
Villas of Distinction®
is seeing some unique trends in its Q1 bookings including increases in the
Caribbean and Mexico, shorter stays, and shorter booking windows.
"Our
travel advisor partners play a crucial role in helping clients navigate the
evolving travel landscape," said Steve Lassman, vice president of agency
relations & villa product for Villas of Distinction. "Our insights demonstrate
continued growth and popularity of luxury villa stays, offering travel agents a
prime opportunity to introduce clients to the privacy, space, and tailored
services of villa vacationing."
For
Villas of Distinction, travel is up significantly in the Caribbean and Mexico.
Another trend is increased interest in shorter stays, specifically in the U.S.
travel market. Luxury villas in destinations like the Caribbean and Mexico lend
themselves to shorter-stay villa accommodations as well.
In addition, based on
booking trends Villas of Distinction guests are either booking close in travel
or further in advance, with reservations well into 2025. “Despite guests' focus
on winter 2025, we're seeing a notable uptick in spontaneous travel, thanks to
enticing deals catering to those seeking summer getaways,” said Lassman.
Villas of Distinction
supports advisors by directing its guests to book with a travel advisor,
providing enhanced promotions for their clients as well as hosting special “Wine
Down Wednesday” and “Lunch and Learn” events. It also continues to increase
advisor engagement by providing more educational knowledge about villas, which
