Do you want more
Direct Bookings?

If I asked you to name your top priority for 2025, what would it be?

For most property managers, it’s more bookings—without burning out or slashing rates.

This season on The Accommodation Show, I’ve been asking industry leaders one simple but powerful question:

“What’s your #1 tip for accommodation businesses in 2025?”

Each guest has shared something different—strategies for pricing, marketing, and operations—but when I sat down with Tim Rosolio, VP of Vacation Rental Partnerships at Expedia Group, his tip stood out because it addressed the one thing every property manager wants more of:

👉 More bookings.

Tim works closely with property managers worldwide through platforms like Vrbo, Expedia, and Stays, giving him a global perspective on what’s working right now. And his message was clear:

“It’s time to optimise what you already have. Don’t just focus on growth—focus on results.”

We’re past the post-pandemic boom, and while demand remains healthy, the market is more competitive than ever. That means simply listing your property isn’t enough anymore. The businesses thriving in 2025 will be those that:

Implement flexible cancellation policies (and yes, Tim explains why it’s worth it!)
Run smart promotions to get the visibility badges OTAs prioritise
Work with account managers for hyper-local insights

Tim’s approach is all about working smarter, not hardermaximising your existing portfolio while staying ahead of the competition.

As Vice President of Vacation Rental Partnerships at Expedia Group, Tim oversees a global team focused on helping property managers succeed on platforms like Vrbo, Expedia, and Stays. He works closely with account managers worldwide, ensuring they’re equipped to support hosts with the latest strategies and insights.
