From city apartments to beachfront villas, Roomorama serves leisure and corporate travelers who seek the comfort, privacy and amenities of a home in neighbourhoods where hotels are usually not found. The website offers 24/7 live chat and customer service. Founded in 2009, Roomorama is currently headquartered in Singapore and operates from the U.S., France, Philippines and Thailand. ==History== Roomorama received US$2.1 million in seed funding from PROFounders, Lerer Media, Thrive Capital, and Jose Marin, who also invested in travel sites like HipWay and GuestMob. Roomorama absorbed competitor Lofty to fill growing demand for inventory. Roomorama had a higher number of registered users and folded Lofty’s properties into their own inventory.〔 Roomorama opened in 2009 with 11 properties available to rent. As of 2012, Roomorama had 70,000 registered properties. Most of the site’s registered users are business travelers and groups of friends or families who do not want to book multiple hotel rooms. Roomorama reported a 215% increase in bookings from 2010 to 2011. In April 2012, Roomorama reported an average booking value of $1,300. 80% of bookings lasted between eight and fourteen days.〔〔 Roomorama worked with travel site Tripping.com to research the factors that drive travelers to choose short-term rentals rather than hotel stays. Their research concluded that travelers are seeking more unique stays, safer alternatives to hotel rooms, and larger, more spacious alternatives for family travel.〔 Roomorama’s properties are located across North America, Europe, Asia, South America, northern Africa and Oceania. Hosts can black the out days, weeks, or months they want to retain use of their property, ensuring that they have access.〔 Roomorama is the first company in the short-term rental space to introduce an open API to its customers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roomorama」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
