NEW BEDFORD — Thinking it’s time for an “escape plan” but don’t want to travel too far from home? You might consider a trend that has travelers booking so-called full-home adventures at local destinations.
In a USA TODAY interview with Vrbo (Vacation Rentals by Owner) president Jeff Hurst, said “families feel stuck where they live and are looking to take a break and are hesitant to take longer trips.” As of June, the site has had an increase in travelers seeking local homes.
Vrbo offers more than two million properties across the world. Focused on high-end, entire-property bookings, the site has extensive search filters when narrowing down the right location, better than any other online rental service according to Travelwithaplan.com.
