LeisureLink today announced that it has reached an agreement to sell VacationRoost.com and its other mountain consumer brands and operations to Ski.com.
Ski.com is North America’s largest provider of mountain vacations and the addition of the new sites including MountainReservations.com, VacationRoost.com, ParkCityReservations.com, BreckenridgeDestinations.com and several others mountain travel sites will complement its strong consumer offering.
“Though it is hard to let go of a business that we have grown and loved for 10-years, we know that our customers and destination experts will thrive in the Ski.com family,” said Julian Castelli, CEO of LeisureLink. “Going forward, this transaction will allow us to focus even more of our resources on our core business of vacation rental distribution. Our distribution platform will allow more vacation rental suppliers to connect with great travel brands like Ski.com, Airbnb, Booking.com and Expedia in the future.”
“We are very excited to bring VacationRoost and the websites under its umbrella into our portfolio of brands,” said Harry Peisach, Ski.com president and CEO. “We now have an even stronger relationship with LeisureLink, and we look forward to expanding our partnership with them to feed our websites with commerce-enabled vacation rental inventory in the future.”
Ski.com’s online reservations technology will be integrated into VacationRoost.com and other LeisureLink consumer websites, and Ski.com’s call center, manned by specialists who average more than two decades in the mountain-travel industry, will handle all calls starting August 10, 2016.
