I recently attended a meeting where a report was given from the Outer Banks Tourism Board. There is a reported decline in bookings of about 8% across the board. What they’re finding is two fold:
- More Americans are traveling abroad/overseas this year as our dollar exchange is good in Europe and some other locations.
- More and more visitors are waiting to reserve their homes until the specials come out, hoping to get deeper discounts.
Apparently some rental companies on the coast of South Carolina are experiencing the same occurrence.
If your home is lacking a few weeks, I would like to extend an offer to promote the house for you on my Facebook Business Pages and Twitter account, where I have nearly 2,000 followers collectively. I can’t guarantee any results, but more exposure certainly can’t hurt. Send an email to my Marketing Assistant Michelle at [email protected] with your house information and a link to it and we will get you in the rotation.
