Co-operation with travel agents

INTER CHALET has co-operated with travel agents for more than 30 years. Today more than 8000 travel agents in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the Benelux countries distribute our brochures, give advice and sell to our guests via a central reservation system or via the Internet.

Letting Rates

Letting Rates for your property will be agreed and fixed by contract. These rates must be considerably lower than the rates offered by Property Owners to their own guests.

Looking after you and your bookings

Employees at INTER CHALET speak all European languages. A competent employee, who speaks your language, is responsible for the complete handling of bookings for your property and for any questions concerning our cooperation. This person will also keep you up-to-date about the booking situation for your property.

Cost

The visit and inspection of your holiday property by one of our product-managers is free of charge. If a contract is signed, your property will be presented with a detailed description and photographs in the relevant brochure as well as on the Internet. The presentation is also free of charge. We calculate an amount on-top to cover the cost involved in the production of the brochure, advertising and distribution via travel agents and the Internet.

Payment

Payment is effected punctually at the dates stipulated in our contract, usually on a monthly basis.

Security deposit

When guests arrive they pay the Owner (or caretaker) a security deposit. The amount is defined by contract and is an integral part of the property description.

Bookings by Property Owner

“Can I use my property myself?” is one of the most frequently asked questions. The answer is - yes, but within reason. Property Owner bookings will be defined in the contract and should only be taken after agreement with INTER CHALET. Please bear in mind that our return on investment can only be achieved when able to let the maximum number of weeks possible.

Contact

We would be very pleased to discuss any further questions with you personally. Naturally - in your language. Depending on where your holiday property is located, you can contact the person responsible for you. Or you can fill out the questionnaire and return it to us - we will call you as soon as possible.
