ALL STAR Vacation Homes traveled to Atlanta to exhibit at the inaugural Vacation Home Expo, held April 11th through April 13th at the Cobb Galleria Center in Atlanta.
The show, in conjunction with the Atlanta Travel Expo and presented by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, brought exhibitors from around the globe to showcase destinations and accommodation options for travelers.
ALL STAR’s booth brought a high level of excitement to the show, sharing live demonstrations of their intuitive online reservations system, tossing beach balls back and forth to other exhibitors and expo attendees and even giving away a 7-night stay at one of their luxurious vacation homes.
“The energy level was sky high!” said Sara Moore, Vice President of Marketing for ALL STAR. “We even had a few past guests stop by and share their stories about staying in our vacation homes.”
Steve Trover, CEO of ALL STAR Vacation Homes, presided over two workshops, sharing his thoughts on the growing vacation home industry as well as the importance of personalized customer service in the hospitality industry.
Also on hand was Discover Vacation Homes, a partnership of several Orlando area based vacation rental and management companies, of which ALL STAR was a founding member. Their I ♥ Vacation Homes stickers were a big hit!
ALL STAR plans to exhibit at future shows that focus exclusively on the vacation home segment that may include Chicago and Boston as host cities.
Based in Kissimmee, Florida, ALL STAR Vacation Homes provides guests more than 150 luxurious vacation home rentals plus delivers top-notch vacation home management services to their owners.
