(March 27, 2008) - First-of-its-kind association Discover Vacation Homes (www.DiscoverVacationHomes.com) appoints international advertising and public relations agency, Ypartnership, to oversee its public relations efforts. Ypartnership will produce nationally recognized publicity and provide media relations in support of Discover Vacation Homes’ promotion as the first association of vacation home companies aiming to raise consumer awareness on the benefits of vacation rentals. Based in Central Florida, the association’s goal is to expand membership across the nation to major travel destinations. The current campaign will be directed to vacationers seeking unique, spacious and affordable accommodations as an alternative to traditional hotels and resorts. Discover Vacation Homes is currently comprised of eight acclaimed vacation home companies in the Orlando area. Each member company offers guests a dynamic choice of rental accommodations, including vacation homes, town homes and condos, each supplied with the comforts of home and more. These rentals provide the perfect way to travel with family or groups, allowing everyone to stay under one roof at an affordable price while saving on the traditional cost of multiple hotel rooms. In-home features include full kitchens, which provide relief from the costs, time, and calories associated with dining out while on vacation, as well as private screened-in pools and spas, multiple bedrooms with adjoining bathrooms, and often arcade rooms, billiard tables, wireless internet, and movie theaters. All vacation rentals offered by members of Discover Vacation Homes are easy to reserve and book online, and include an on-call guest services representative 24 hours a day. Ypartnership is America’s leading marketing, advertising and public relations agency serving travel and leisure industry clients. Headquartered in Orlando, the agency maintains additional offices in New York, Los Angeles and Honolulu, and serves a roster of over 50 clients in the travel and leisure category worldwide. About Discover Vacation Homes The first vacation home rental association of its kind, Discover Vacation Homes works to promote and publicize vacation rentals as one of Central Florida’s fastest-growing lodging categories. The organization is comprised of the most well-established vacation home rental management companies in the industry, collectively representing nearly 13 percent of all vacation homes in the Orlando area. Vacation rentals often cost less than a single hotel room, provide considerably more space and, in many instances, amenities not found in one’s own home.
