Now that the global lockdowns are behind us, many travelers are taking advantage of "revenge travel." This is the notion of traveling and enjoying a new location after years of staying indoors.
Without a doubt, Malta is one of the best locations for spontaneous travel. If you've got a Malta vacation home, now's the best time to capitalize on it.
But how do you take advantage of the revenge travel phenomenon? How do you succeed with your Malta vacation home rentals?
Here's what you have to do:
Vacation Rental Property Management
Your first step is to find a vacation rental property management company for your Malta home. These companies can look after your properties and deal with tenants.
Whether you're a full-time Malta resident or an occasional visitor, a property manager is crucial for your rental business. They'll ensure that your property is always in the best condition for a potential tenant.
You should also consider joining your local homeowners association (HOA). This can help you make decisions for your community. If your community runs well, your property will be more attractive to potential travelers.
Promote Your Property Early
Malta has certain seasons that are popular with tourists. However, with revenge travel, you can't expect the number of visitors to be the same as pre-pandemic. You may find that summer is as popular as winter, for example.
As a result, you have to start marketing your vacation home as soon as possible. You can use rental platforms such as Airbnb and Plum Guide to share your listings.
You can also create a custom landing page for your property. With a landing page, you can share photos and videos of your vacation home.
You can also share the details of the property. This could include amenities, nearby locations, etc. Be sure to share testimonials and reviews from previous guests on this landing page.
Best Practices for Revenge Travel Vacation Homes
Here are a few best practices to follow to succeed in attracting revenge travel guests:
- Hire professional cleaning services
- Your vacation home must be cleaned 24 hours before any new guest arrives
- If a guest stays for more than a month, set aside a few hours each month for cleaning
- Stock your home with groceries, beach towels, and other necessities
- Share tips with your guests on what to see and do during their vacation
- Either you or your property manager should always be available to speak to guests
If you follow these best practices, you'll succeed in attracting more guests. One can expect Malta to receive a larger influx of revenge tourism, so you'll have to stand out from the competition.
