Skift Take

HomeAway and Airbnb are both moving fast to expand in what will likely become their fastest growing market, after their base in North America, as travel and tech adoption booms throughout Asia.

Having already buddied up with China’s TuJia and Singapore-based Wego last year, today HomeAway has agreed another Asian tie-up – this time with Travelmob. As regular readers will recall, Travelmob is from Singapore and aims to be Asia’s Airbnb.

HomeAway’s Victor Wang – from HQ in Austin, Texas – explains that this is part of the site’s strategy of increasing “the inventory and awareness of vacation rentals in the Asian market.” For holiday-makers, it means that Travelmob’s Asia-Pacific listings will be made available within the HomeAway site.
