(TRAVPR.COM) UK BASED WITH A GLOBAL PORTFOLIO - May 1st, 2013 - Beach Tomato, part of the Black Tomato travel group, has launched a new offering of online bookable villas & holiday home rentals, all within striking distance of the beach. The new site, www.BeachTomatoVillas.com features over 3,000 properties and is powered by Pathway GDS, a B2B platform with an inventory of over 80k holiday homes around the globe.
The new website also has a family connection in the form of brothers Tom Marchant, Black Tomato co-founder and James Marchant, Pathway GDS co-founder.
Commenting on the launch of Beach Tomato Villas, Tom Marchant said: "Beach Tomato has established itself in a short space of time as a leading authority on all things to do with the beach and the final missing piece was being able to offer our customers a great selection of villas and holiday homes. Pathway GDS has enabled this by connecting us with a range of top quality suppliers that offer everything from stylish apartments to villas and even private islands. We carefully selected and vetted each of our supplier partners to give us the right blend of properties and locations that we know will match our customers' needs and expectations. And Pathway GDS lets us continue to put the customer at the centre of what we do - they provide the technology platform and access to great product and we can focus on inspiring people to take great holidays."
James Marchant added, "We're really pleased to be working with the Beach Tomato team and obviously the family connection makes it all the better.
Beach Tomato is a really strong brand and their villas site is a good example of how Pathway GDS can assist travel businesses who are looking to expand their villa and holiday home rental product quickly and efficiently."
