New Delhi : TripAdvisor the world’s largest travel site* today announced the launch of holiday rentals on TripAdvisor Holiday Rentals India, allowing travellers to search and compare more than 550,000 properties around the world.  Available properties are wide-ranging and can accommodate single travellers up to large groups in villas, ski chalets, apartments, houseboats, castles, treehouses and more.

“We are excited to introduce holiday rentals to our Indian audience as it will open a whole new world of accommodation options for the ardent Indian travelers especially ones who love to travel with their family. According to our estimates, an average Indian family (two adults + two children) can save up to 57% in a destination like Venice by opting for holiday rental versus a regular hotel stay.
