RedAwning Group Acquires Leavetown Vacations Inc. and its Jetstream Connectivity Solution

EMERYVILLE, Calif., Aug. 30, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- RedAwning, the world's largest collection of vacation properties, today announced it has acquired Leavetown Vacations, a Vancouver, Canada-based vacation rental distribution and channel marketing solution especially designed for multi-unit properties. This acquisition moves RedAwning into a leadership position for marketing and distribution of multi-unit properties to leading vacation rental websites, including Airbnb, HomeAway, VRBO and TripAdvisor, as well as leading OTAs such as Booking.com and Expedia. RedAwning also expands its proprietary network with the addition of Leavetown.com. And, perhaps most importantly, this acquisition opens up RedAwning's full suite of services to hotel companies using platforms such as Synxis, TravelClick, Availpro, and Yieldplanet.

RedAwning is already the industry leader in vacation rental property marketing and distribution in the U.S. for key level marketing, and with the addition of Leavetown's Jetstream product and integrations, RedAwning assumes a leadership role in multi-unit inventory as well. All Leavetown Vacations employees will be continuing with RedAwning and RedAwning has established a Canadian subsidiary company as part of this transaction.

"This is a great opportunity for RedAwning to strengthen our position in the industry and expand our reach into the multi-unit boutique hotel and resort sector," said RedAwning CEO, Tim Choate. "We can provide connectivity of more traditional lodging to more alternative channels, further blurring the line between traditional and alternative and changing the way travelers choose accommodations. Leavetown has followed a very similar model and approach to RedAwning, except with a focus on multi-unit inventory, and our visions and people are so complementary that this acquisition was really a perfect fit for both companies. We are ready and excited to partner with the team at Leavetown to rapidly scale the marketing opportunity for aparthotels, condo buildings, corporate housing and resorts throughout our network."

"When we first talked to RedAwning, we were immediately excited by their vision and how they were on the same pathway as us, but just years ahead in their plan. We knew the best way we could achieve our own vision for our team and clients was to join forces, and we can't wait to get started together," said Mike Liverton, CEO of Leavetown Vacations.
