Expedia's Vrbo Warns of Limited Supply at Summer Hotspots
Skift Take
Vrbo President Jeff Hurst looks to build on the full-home rental site's growth momentum coming out of the pandemic. But that doesn't mean travel this summer will be a breeze: book early or have a back-up plan is his advice to travelers.
Vrbo President Jeff Hurst is blunt when it comes to the lodging realities of travel this summer: book early or have a Plan B in case things are full.
Despite an increase in listings in key markets, the full-home rental site does not aim to have enough offerings to meet all of the demand in key markets, like Breckenridge, Colo., or the South of France, said Hurst at the Skift Short-Term Rental and Outdoor Summit on Wednesday.
“You can’t solve for there’s not enough homes in the Outer Banks [of North Carolina] for all the people who want to go to the Outer Banks this summer," he said. "Some people are going to have to not go to the Outer Banks this summer.”
