7 Wholesalers to reach travel agents
Wholesalers are companies that distribute your vacation rentals to travel agents. Note that they usually don’t have a website themselves and are not catered to accept individual Property Managers or Owners. They solely work with technology providers like us, so in order to be advertising with them you need to have an account with a channel manager, like Rentals United.

3 Metasearch Websites for Vacation Rentals
A metasearch website is usually a website that takes inventory from other websites, gathers it on their website and offers users a powerful search. Guests are invited to find their perfect rentals amongst thousands and thousands of rentals from different websites and are then redirected to book on the original website. With the inventory from Rentals United and depending on the metasearch, guests can either book on the metasearch website or are redirected to the checkout pages of your rentals (see an example here).
