Adding, “Working in a very fast-paced and often changing vacation rental environment, we take the time to evaluate the market and make what we believe is the best business decision for Hostfully and all our clients. Integrating with the new OwnerDirect.com makes great sense and we encourage all our property managers to syndicate their vacation rentals from around the world to OwnerDirect.com via the Hostfully API.”

A proven reliable data transfer feed, the Hostfully API presents yet another direct and automated connection further scaling OwnerDirect.com in the coveted STVR space crystalizing the Company as a leader in the deeply fragmented and high-margin global internet listing industry.
