Christmas bookings have tripled since 2019, according to a study conducted by Kiwi.com. Therefore, this Christmas is the perfect time to give a boost to your business and increase your revenues, attracting tourists looking to spend this holiday season traveling away from home.
In order to help you, in this article we will share a series of tips to make your vacation property become the preferred option among tourists to spend this Christmas. And it will make you the perfect host to achieve it.
1. Christmas decorations in your properties
It’s Christmas, let it be noticed! Although far from home, tourists still want to feel the Christmas spirit wherever they choose to spend the holidays. Adding details and decorative elements will provide that special, cozy and Christmas touch to your vacation rental that your future guests are looking for. You can put lights in your property, a Christmas tree or decorative elements on
doors and windows. These are not expensive details that your guests will notice and appreciate.
2. Christmas offers
This is a time of high consumption and economic spending, so finding discount offers for your accommodation will definitely lead guests to choose your property. Offer discounts for booking in advance, or for spending a whole week, or more in your accommodation.
3. Offer a Christmas gift
Chocolates, bonbons, or any kind of Christmas candy is a detail that your guests will love to find when they arrive at your vacation rental. What better way to receive them? It will be a gesture that your guests will enjoy enormously and that, most likely, will make them want to return to your property on another occasion or leave you a very good review.
4. Share greetings and communications on your social networks
Social networks are the direct communication channel with our potential customers and guests, use them to wish them happy holidays and, at the same time, take the opportunity to remind them of all the services that your vacation rental can offer, the discounts you have prepared and how thanks to them they can live a special Christmas that they will never forget.
5. Guides and recommendations
Offer your guests guides with recommendations of activities they can do in the surroundings of your property to enjoy even more this holiday season. Restaurants where they can celebrate the festive dinners and lunches, local markets and shops. Having a set of recommendations will help them fully enjoy their vacation without having to worry about finding the right places because you will be able to help them.
