Follow on Google News | 7 night holiday in Devon sold on Bidango for £5 per person per night!Bidango, the world’s first dedicated holiday rental auction site, sold an amazing last minute holiday to Devon last week for just £5 per person per night.
Brixham is rich in maritime history and this property is situated perfectly for holidaymakers to explore the large harbour upon which the town is built around. The holidaymakers can also enjoy a fishing trip of their own if they are feeling particularly adventurous, which can be booked at the harbour. Also nearby is the Berry Head Heritage Park, surrounded by two Napoleonic forts, where many rare sea birds and plants can be found. Dartmouth, Exeter and Plymouth are all easily accessible from Brixham by ferry, where there are also plenty of things to do. The apartment itself is also a great place to stay and relax – newly refurbished last year, the apartment has such luxuries as a large flatscreen TV with Sky+, and a feature wall-mounted fireplace in the open-plan living room. Bidango is a new and exciting platform where holidaymakers can bid on self-catered properties in auction, harnessing the potential for huge discounts on some of the finest rental homes available. Launched by leading holiday rental website pureholidayhomes.com, Bidango offers a unique and interactive opportunity to secure fantastic discount holidays. With no agency commissions (typically 20% - 40%) by booking direct with the owner, Bidango confidently predicts that a further 20% - 30% saving on certain weeks can be achieved for price sensitive holidaymakers willing to bid for their break. Savvy travellers can keep an eye on the best deals and pick up a bargain with huge savings to be made, and homeowners can fill late availability and cancellations by putting their property in auction. Sean Collins, Joint CEO of pureholidayhomes.com, the company behind the launch of Bidango, comments: “We launched Bidango as there was no dedicated service for discounted holiday rental properties. The site is providing a vital service to homeowners, namely helping them in selling late availability and filling cancellation weeks, along with offering a fantastic discount service to bargain hunting holidaymakers, with up to a 90% discount offered on some rentals.” The market opportunity for homeowners • Circa 6 million holiday homeowners in Europe and North America who rent their homes for an average of 14 weeks per year*. Creating millions of unsold weeks each year. • Since 2008 reduction in net disposable wealth and a weaker exchange rate has led to UK based holiday homeowners looking to increase the amount of income they generate from their property. • Until now no specific destination website for holiday homeowners to sell discounted available weeks/short breaks. Will appeal to: Advertisers looking to sell more out of season weeks, selling last minute cancellations, achieving premium rates for peak weeks. The opportunity for holidaymakers • Year on year rise in late bookings, in July 2011 pureholidayhomes.com saw an increase of 36% in last minute enquiries compared to 2010. According to Hotwire.com, 49% of their users will book only two to four weeks before travel • pureholidayhomes.com also reports a 67% increase in holidaymakers asking for deals or discounts. Will appeal to: retirees, group holidays, pre-kids, families who like booking late for a deal, flexible short trips and city breaks. Until 31st December 2011 Bidango is waiving all listing fees and operating a reduced 5% commission on all successful lots.
