ACL Fest Attendees Booking Vacation Rentals Will Get Access to HomeAway’s Backstage
AUSTIN, Texas (PRWEB) June 02, 2016 -- Austin-based HomeAway®, the world leader in vacation rentals, is awarding free access to the company’s backstage and hospitality lounge area for Austin City Limits Music Festival (ACL Fest) attendees who book their accommodations through HomeAway.com®.
As the official accommodations partner for ACL Fest, HomeAway will once again showcase some of the festival’s top artists on both weekends, September 30 through October 2 and October 7 through October 9. In 2015, fan favorites Gary Clark, Jr., Hozier, Vance Joy and many others headlined the stage and this year’s artists will be announced this summer. Guests will be treated to complimentary beverages and snacks, an exclusive backstage view, and access to shaded rest areas, yard games and air-conditioned restroom facilities.
The company also announced it will donate five dollars to Austin Habitat for Humanity for each stay of two or more nights booked on HomeAway.com in Austin between September 29 and October 10.
“ACL Fest has provided such a boost to Austin through tourism and the local economy, especially to the vacation rental owners who open their doors to festival attendees,” said Brian Sharples, HomeAway co-founder and CEO. “I’m so excited to go even bigger this year with backstage giveaways to HomeAway travelers and a portion of each booking to Austin Habitat for Humanity, a long-time partner of ours and an organization truly committed to the Austin community.”
The average home rents for around $450 per night during ACL Fest and properties are booking up fast with only about 30% of Austin –area vacation rentals still available for both weekends. With hundreds of thousands of festival attendees coming to Austin over the two week period, the vacation rental owners of Austin stand to benefit greatly from filling their homes with music lovers.
"There’s no better way to truly experience ACL Fest like an Austinite than to rent a home.” said Jay Reynolds, vacation rental owner and property manager. “So many beautiful and affordable properties are near the park for festival goers to rent and enjoy the local neighborhood businesses and attractions and relax in the privacy of a home at the end of the day.”
