Guaranteed Occupancy & B2B Contracts

Corporate travel is a B2B (business-to-business) industry — large organizations manage their employee lodging through Travel Management Systems (TMS) such as Amex GBT, CWT, Egencia, and Serko.

These TMS platforms form contracted partnerships between:

  • Corporations (e.g., Amazon, Deloitte, Pfizer)

  • TMS Providers (e.g., Amex GBT)

  • Approved Lodging Suppliers (e.g., Marriott, Hilton, and now, Livily)

Livily brings this enterprise-level contracting model to the vacation rental and extended-stay sector, allowing property managers to secure guaranteed annual occupancy in exchange for corporate rate participation — connecting them directly to the $700 billion corporate travel market.


Industry Analogy: Airlines & Hotels

✈️ Airlines

Major airlines (e.g., Delta, United) often sign corporate contracts guaranteeing a set number of flight segments or seat allocations annually for enterprise clients at negotiated discounts.
In return, corporations like Deloitte or Amazon receive predictable pricing, and airlines gain assured annual revenue.

🏨 Hotels

Hotel groups (e.g., Marriott, Hilton) commonly negotiate annual occupancy guarantees with global corporations or relocation programs — for example, Google might commit to 40–50% annual utilization across certain hotels at fixed corporate rates.

🏠 Livily’s Model

Livily applies this same proven concept to vacation rentals. Livily signs Guaranteed Occupancy Agreements with property managers — committing to fill 25% to 50% of their annual inventory at agreed corporate rates. In return, those properties are integrated into TMS systems and prioritized for corporate and relocation bookings worldwide.
