Erica Chang, Regional
Director for HomeAway.co.uk, commented, “We know that holidaymakers are
increasingly looking for and booking their breaks on the go, as revealed in
recent figures on mobile traffic to the site. By using our app they will be
able to secure the holiday of their dreams, from wherever they may find
themselves.”
She added, “Holiday home owners and managers also have hectic
schedules, and our new app will not only make life easier for them but also ensure
they don’t miss bookings simply because they are out and about. Whether
responding to enquiries, checking their calendar or sending a payment request,
the new app means they can efficiently run their rental businesses whenever,
wherever.”
The HomeAway.co.uk app is
available now for free download for the iPhone (iPhone 3GS and above) and iPod
Touch in the App Store.
