For travelers

Just open the Ask Myles chat and type a question:

  • “What’s KOALA’s best rate for a two bedroom at Ko’Olina this summer?”
  • “Show me ocean view stays under $250 a night.”
  • “Need inspiration—any family-friendly ski weeks still available?”

Myles responds in seconds with tailored deals and fresh vacation ideas.

 

The Future of AI-Powered Travel

AI already decides the fares you pay for flights and hotels; the next wave will reshape how travelers discover and book trips. KOALA believes that timeshares—and more specifically timeshare rentals—are a perfect proving ground. Because owners work with fixed booking windows and high-demand weeks, availability often drives the destination itself. When KOALA surfaces an unbelievable value—say, an ocean view week in Maui that slipped through the cracks—travelers happily pivot their plans.

What Myles crunches behind the scenes

  • Real?time rates on major OTAs and secondary market resale/rentals sites
  • KOALA’s historical data from thousands of past bookings
  • Seasonal demand curves, local events, and school holiday calendars
  • Unit?level premiums for views, amenities, and resort reputation

What Myles can deliver 

  • The best priced stay for your exact dates—no endless scrolling
  • Tailored suggestions by trip type (beach, ski, golf, family-friendly, and more)
  • Clear breakdowns of why a timeshare rental can beat both hotels and vacation homes on space, kitchens, and value

The result: smarter searches, happier travelers, and owners who fill their weeks at optimal rates—proof that the smartest brain in travel belongs to a koala.

 

KOALA’s Data Advantage

The timeshare industry is complex and pricing a timeshare rental is anything but one-size-fits-all. Every brand has its own point charts, booking windows, and regulations. Because KOALA deals exclusively in timeshare inventory, we’ve built one of the richest proprietary datasets in the space, tracking nightly yield, demand spikes, and lead?time trends for thousands of resorts worldwide.

Recent industry research shows that roughly seven out of ten short-term-rental operators already lean on AI for a competitive edge. KOALA members enjoy that same advantage automatically—no spreadsheets, no steep learning curve, just data-driven pricing working quietly in the background.

 

What This Means for…

  • Travelers: Transparent, up-to-70% savings on resort stays, priced by math not mark?ups—and a chatty koala to answer “Is this a good deal?” on the spot.
  • Timeshare Owners: Higher occupancy, fewer wasted weeks, and pricing suggestions that adjust as demand shifts (goodbye, set-it-and-forget-it listing traps).
  • The Industry: A proof point that the secondary market can be data-driven, guest-friendly, and brand-safe—all at once. As AI consulting firm Riskline notes, 82?% of U.S. companies already lean on AI for travel decisions?. KOALA (and Myles!) is excited to bring this technology to the timeshare industry.
