Maria Bartiromo:

 

Welcome back. Well, travel is turning a corner, possibly making a comeback. Take a look at these numbers. AAA predicts more than 53 and a half million people are going to travel this Thanksgiving weekend. That is up 13% from last year. Big numbers. Joining me right now is Vacasa CEO, Matt Roberts. Matt, it's great to see you today. Thanks very much for being here. You've got your finger on the pulse. What are the travel numbers looking like to you? Are people getting back out there?

 

Matt Roberts:

 

Oh absolutely. Uh, business is absolutely booming. Uh, we did a recent survey, Maria, and nearly half of the respondents planned to travel, uh, this holiday season. And you know, it's mostly a family so about 65% of people with children five years and under are planning to travel this holiday season.

 

Maria Bartiromo:

 

And, you know, it's not cheap because oil prices are up 50% so you've got gasoline prices a major expense. Are they doing more driving than flying Matt? What do you see?

 

Matt Roberts:

 

Yeah, actually 72% said that they plan to drive, uh, to their destination for the, for their holiday travel. So gas prices will certainly impact that.

 

Maria Bartiromo:

 

Yeah. Yeah. So tell us about Vacasa. You reported record breaking third quarter earnings, Matt. I wanna get your take on what's driving the business, your gross booking value up 97% year over year with all time record revenue. Uh, give us a sense of your business. How do you monetize all of this travel?

 

Matt Roberts:

 

Sure. Well, Vacasa focuses on the supply side of the equation, so we actually bring supply vacation rentals into the market. Uh, and so, yeah, the business is great. We posted record results. Our revenue, $330 million, was up 77% year-over-year, and 28% ahead of the targets that we had set. So business is absolutely going fantastic in all areas. Uh, we focus on, like I said, that bringing the supply, uh, to the market.

 

 

 

 

Maria Bartiromo:

 

And where are the, uh, destinations that people wanna be at in terms of the Vacasa, uh, properties and, and that, and that supply, Matt? Where do you see spikes in terms of travel in the country?

 

Matt Roberts:

 

Well, we're just starting to shift to, as you would imagine, the ski destinations. Uh, so cabins in, in cozy places and, and families are excited to start skiing again and hopefully have a great ski season this year. Uh, but of course, the warmer destinations, Florida, et cetera, continue to have a lot of popularity associated with them too. So it, it's all of the, the usual suspects as we transition, you know, deeper into the fall and to the winter months.

 

Maria Bartiromo:

 

Yeah, and all of this great news ahead of your IPO. You'll be taking the company public via a SPAC. Tell me what you're planning on doing with the money raised?

 

Matt Roberts:

 

Well, we have such a huge opportunity for growth in front of us. The market itself for vacation rentals will be over $200 billion next year alone. Uh, so we're still early in our journey of growth, so the money will be spent on continuing to fuel that growth and we're gonna triple down on our investment in technology. At our core we’re a technology company, that's what we use to power the scale of the business. Vacasa is the largest in the country - vacation rental management platform - uh, so we're gonna use the money to just further that, uh, leading position.

 

Maria Bartiromo:

 

Yeah. And why did you choose a SPAC to do that?

 

Matt Roberts:

 

Well, you know, the, the end result is the same. We'll be a publicly listed company on Nasdaq, VCSA, uh, and but the, the partner that we had in TPG, uh, was just a great ideal fit for us. Uh, Karl Peterson is co-founder of Hot Wire. Uh, he'll be joining our board. So we got some great business partnership, uh, in addition to raising the capital as well.

 

Maria Bartiromo:

 

All right. Matt, congrats to you. We'll be watching. Thanks so much for joining us this morning and great picture into what's going on this, uh, this morning, uh, in the world of travel. Matt, good to see you. Thank you.

 

Matt Roberts:

 

Thanks Maria.
