TUI Villas
TUI Villas
Just had a brochure through my letter box advertising TUI (Thomson in old money) Villas. Looks like a similar commission model to TA etc - ie 15% commission on a booking. Haven't studied the small print in detail but just wondering if anyone has tried them??

The TUI quality algorithm:-
"A specially-developed algorithm continuously scans the range on TUIvillas.com and determines the best of the best holiday accommodation. These holiday homes and apartments are singled out with the TUI smile and highlighted in the results list. The criteria, which the algorithm takes into account, include, among other things, a comprehensive property description with informative photos, positive customer feedback, and secure payment via TUIvillas.com."
15% + VAT commission from the owner. Well at least they are not trying to sting the poor old guest for a commission as well. Owners who don't qualify for a "TUI Smile" (
) will take exception, I should imagine.

It's getting that way. Much easier to cream a nice fat wedge from the small ventures & saves having to go to the trouble of actually buying, maintaining & running it like those pesky owners.Mouse wrote:

Our season is short & at those sort of rates they would be 'earning' better profit margins than me.
This time next year Rodney, we'll be millionaires.

Given that our trget market is families I thought I would contact them with a few additional questions that their carefully worded blurb didn't answer. So I emailed them a list of 5 questions split in to sections. Simple to understand....or so I thought.
I got a reply back with the info off the website basically cut and pasted.
The last sentence tells me they are very happy to answer any additonal questions. OK, so why not start with the ones I sent.
I've now replied asking did she actually read the email I sent!
I just despair.....some of these companies seem to want to take their commission without actually done any work.

Thanks, Essar. That gives a clear picture of the way Atraveo works for self-catering properties. It seems that TUI are wanting to give Atraveo (which they apparently own) a more international TUI brand image.
