Full-service luxury villa company Rental Escapes is starting the new year with good news for travel advisors - throughout the first quarter of 2023 it is raising its standard commission rate on all bookings to 11%.

In addition, the company has launched a new weekly meeting series, "Wednesdays with Willie," where travel advisors can schedule a 10-minute meeting with Chief Marketing Officer Willie Fernandez to gain knowledge on how to sell and market villas and ask any questions they have.

"We're excited to kick off 2023 in a big way, by celebrating our commitment to our most trusted partners, our travel advisor community," said Fernandez, who has more than 30 years of travel industry experience.

"Rental Escapes is proud to be the first villa rental company to offer travel advisors an 11% commission. This increase and the new opportunity to engage in one-on-one meetings with myself has elevated our partner offerings and provides further support and tools to ensure confident, skilled advisors," he added.

When combined with Rental Escapes' current training videos and tools, as well as the company's villa specialists and concierge service who assist on every booking, the company says it ensures advisors are set up for success.
