Choosing Our Advertisers Jan 11

We very much dislike going to websites cluttered with ads that have nothing to do with the website they are posted on, and we’ve heard from lots of other people who find this practice distracting too. We at Surf to Ski Retreats are very picky about the partnerships we create and the ads we publish. To that end, we look to ensure that the companies we work with have something to do with either travel, or will help our users and guests during their vacation, or for running their business. As you probably know, we are a Business to Business to Consumer website. This means we (a Business) work with other Businesses (vacation rental owners and managers) and in turn we attract Consumers (renters and travelers) to our website to find and book vacation rentals.

With all that said, you’ll find products and services that will help you get ready for a trip while at the same time save you money.

  • Flights (You may need to fly to your vacation destination)
  • Car Rentals (Once you get there, you’ll need a car)
  • Luggage (Get new bags or replace the old ones)
  • Outdoor Gear (From snorkel to ski gear, we have you covered)
  • Foot Wear (While on vacation you’ll be walking a lot and need sandals, walking shoes, boots & more)
  • Golf Equipment (Fill the holes in your bag before your next golf vacation)
  • Business Services (Office services that will help our Business customers)
  • Home Decor (Vacation Rentals need furnishings!)

Shop with confidence in the merchants that are listed on Surf to Ski Retreats!
