Own a Business That Caters to The Highly Desirable Beach and Ski Vacation Guest
Vacation rentals (i.e. short-term lodging in privately owned residences at vacation destinations) are one of the fastest growing segments of the $700 billion travel industry, generating $18 billion per year. Americans planned 328 million leisure trips for June, July and August of this year (up from the previous year) and a May 2008 survey by Zonder shows that rentals are increasing even as the economy slows due to the value that vacation rentals represent versus other forms of lodging. The higher-income demographic of the beach or ski vacation guest is also contributing to the strength of this market. 
Owners of Second Homes and Vacation Properties Rely on Our Services
Most properties (homes, condos, townhomes, villas) in resort areas like beaches and ski resorts are individually owned by the over 6.4 million people that own second homes in the U.S. (6% of the population). The majority of these homeowners use the property less than a month each year, so they rent their properties on a short-term basis (by the night or week) in order to produce income. As a vacation rental property manager you’ll provide property rental, management and security services to these home owners (and to their guests). With SkyRun Vacation Rentals you can build a successful business by helping others maintain their investment properties.
