Book Direct Day #BookDirect is an annual celebration that underscores the significance of booking directly with Yonder Luxury Vacation Rentals. The essence of this day lies in encouraging travelers to bypass third-party booking platforms like Airbnb, VRBO, Expedia, and Booking.com, collectively known as Online Travel Agencies (OTAs), and instead opt for direct bookings through the Yonder site.
The concept of booking direct offers a multitude of advantages. By circumventing intermediaries, you gain access to the best available rates, personalized service, local expertise (we live, work and play here in the mountains) and experience and the latest information about the property. Furthermore, direct bookings often come with exclusive promotions, discounts, and tailored requests not typically found on third-party sites.
A primary benefit of booking directly is the avoidance of additional booking fees commonly charged by OTAs. These fees, which can be substantial (sometimes as much as 30%,) are entirely avoidable through direct bookings, freeing up funds for indulgences from the Yonder Experience Program. Moreover, direct communication with the property management team ensures seamless coordination, personalized assistance, and access to firsthand local insights, thereby enhancing the overall guest experience and fostering a deeper connection between travelers and their accommodations.
