Advertise holiday rentals free - Pay on Performance
A regular comment from holiday accommodation advertisers is that you do not know which site to pay to advertise on as you do not know if you will get a return on your advertising investment. There are a large amount of holiday rental web sites around all charging an upfront fee to advertise, but will you get any bookings?
The solution to this was to develop a commission booking system that takes out the initial cost of advertising. No upfront cost so no bookings no cost; when you do receive a booking for your villa you pay a small commission to cover the advertising costs that got you the booking.
This system has been in development for a while and is now setup; we already have a few properties testing the system out. Hopefully this will be a beneficial method of advertising your villas to rent giving much greater confidence in advertising without any upfront costs. If the trials all go well I will roll this out to be offered to all advertisers.

Toro Holidays Ltd - Launch of Blog
I have been working hard over the last year to develop this site and grow from a small holiday accommodation site to one of the largest online advertisers of holiday villas and apartments in Europe.Our holiday accommodation database currently contains 10,000 properties; this is a big leap forward for us to have such a large database of holiday properties to promote to our visitors from our small beginning.
Cannot create the pages fast enough! I have many more properties to list but it is taking me time to get all of the pages created fast enough. You will be seeing a few more countries added to the site in the coming month’s just need to get more time in front of the pc developing pages
I will be keeping this blog updated with information on what I am working on and what is being developed to appear on the Toro Holidays site. I think it will be better to give as much information on this blog instead of bombarding your ever increasing inbox with more newsletters.
