LeisureLink Inc. and Instant Software Inc. Announce Partnership to Increase Online Bookings for Vacation Lodging Managers.

LeisureLink Inc. and Instant Software Inc. have announced a strategic partnership that dramatically improves the ability of vacation lodging managers to list their properties on major travel websites.

The partners will use Instant Software’s ISILink technology to give vacation lodging managers effortless access to all major consumer travel sites, providing massive electronic distribution for their properties.  LeisureLink’s system will directly connect with Instant Software’s database, automatically enabling vacation lodging managers to accept bookings from all major travel websites. The joint offering eliminates time intensive use of extranets to update availability and prices by automatically feeding real time data directly into the LeisureLink system.

“Our partnership with LeisureLink opens up a powerful opportunity to create new revenues for our clients” said Dave Hopcroft, Chairman and CEO, of Instant Software.  “LeisureLink’s long term focus on the vacation lodging industry made them an obvious choice to serve our clients”, said Hopcroft.  “Our technology gives ISI/LeisureLink clients better access to major online channels than many major hotel chains”, he continued. 

“We already have a number of joint clients, and are delighted to formalize our relationship with the leader in property management software for the vacation lodging industry”, said Erik Hovanec, President and CEO of LeisureLink.  “Our partnership with Instant Software will drive an important new source of revenue for vacation lodging managers, as well as providing consumers with alternatives to a typical hotel stay”, said Hovanec.

Leisurelink and Instant Software Group work with vacation lodging properties in thousands of locations throughout the US, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean.   Each property has its’ own distinctive character, in sharp contrast to typical hotel lodgings.  Vacation lodging offer great value to families and small groups, since many properties offer multi-bedroom accommodations.
