Homeaway buys VRBO

OTA = Online Travel Agency, which means those sites that sell the booking and take the payment for you.

I can understand that VRBO probably works for people with properties in the states - but how does it perform for French properties?
It works quite well for us -- but it does bring in mostly U.S. customers. I doubt it works as well for us as it does for Paolo, since Burgundy is a little more "off the beaten path" for a typical American tourist. But we do still get bookings from them.

I signed up after seeing their search engine placement, and also after reading recommendations from others on the forum. I was skeptical, because of the way things are laid out on the site, but my skepticism vanished when I looked over the year's bookings and saw that, despite having signed up with them after part of the busy booking season had passed, I got several bookings from them!
