What is the Vacation Rental Industry About?

The concept of “sharing homes” has been around for years. However, the way it is managed, particularly in a commercial sense, has dramatically changed.
Rapidly becoming the most innovative sector in the world, the key question is, how exactly is the vacation rental industry defined? And more importantly, how is it fulfilling the needs of an ever-demanding consumer market? These are the questions Simon will answer in this keynote.

Does the Rapid Growth of the Vacation Rental Industry Mean a Demise for the Hotel Sector?

According to a recent study by Bloomberg, it is said that if travellers have stayed in peer-to-peer lodging in the last 5 years, the likelihood that they prefer traditional hotels is halved. What’s even more interesting is that travel and tourism disruptor, Airbnb’s units are reported to be doubling year upon year.
In this keynote, Simon provides answers for the “traditional” hotel industry. The audience will get a better sense of the future and how to prepare in the best way possible.

The Digital Future of the Vacation Rental Industry

There’s no time like the present to consider how the digital revolution is transforming the hospitality, travel, and in particular, the vacation rental industry. Following disruptors such as Airbnb and HomeAway, new competition continues to enter this market, mainly using platforms that can expand through superior technology capability.
With sophisticated AI technology, and “automation” in the serviced accommodation space, there’s no denying that there is still a lot of room for exponential change in the industry. The question is, what does this mean for property owners and the modern-day traveller?

Building a Brand that Consumers Can TRUST, in the Vacation Rental Industry

Even in this day and age, despite the digital revolution and modern-day perks, trust and good old-fashioned hospitality, is still at the heart of the vacation rental industry.
Businesses who understand this and continue to put people first, will always stand out amongst the rising competition. But what exactly do businesses in this industry need to consider, in order to become a brand that their consumer will trust, and keep returning back to?

The Top Vacation Rental Industry Trends for 2019

Not so long ago, vacation rental websites mostly consisted of property owners who were looking to rent out an extra bedroom or a second home. Today, the vacation rental industry is a profitable and well-established space, that includes a number of third-party services to support growing businesses.
Now that we’re well into 2019, it’s clear that this industry is rapidly transforming (for the better); and in order to keep ahead of the game, it’s important to know of all the top trends which is exactly what Simon covers in this keynote.
