Wendy shares some of her top tips fromher newbook 'Empty weeks: How to get more bookings and make money on your holiday home' and makes a copy available to SUR readers. Is the book aimed at people who are already involved in holiday rentals? Yes it is, and also for those who are considering the idea. It is important that owners understand the demand that's out there and identify their niche market. In recent years, with the weak euro and worldwide recession, many property owners have seen bookings drop and have made less money, but in thepast year our company has experienced a growth rate of 97%, which suggests to me that the holiday lettings market is not only growing but is positively buoyant. It is a matter of knowing what people want, and providing it. The book is full of practical tips and advice which will help owners of holiday homes achieve a long and profitable lettings season. What do people look for in a holiday home? The market has changed dramatically. Nowadays, people are looking for something as comfortable as their own home, with features like an enclosed pool. Clever owners are extending their season by identifying a niche such as the family market and doing their utmost to cater for it. How can people obtain a copy of your book?
