🌍 Great day so far at the ShortTermRentalz Summit in London, and always nice to see some of the Abode Worldwide team in person 💖 Two takeaways that stuck with me today (courtesy of Sally Henry & Key Data): 🏠 Short but sweet stays are on the rise. Quick getaways are carving out a solid place in the STR market. 17% of bookings in Europe and 16% in the UK are for stays of just 1-2 nights - and this segment is only expected to grow. This shift opens new doors for property managers to optimise spaces for shorter, high-turnover stays and cater to travellers seeking quick, memorable experiences. 🕝 Last-minute travel is here to stay. Spontaneity is shaping the way people travel, with a big 44% of bookings in Europe and 40% in the UK made within just two weeks of check-in. This trend toward last-minute planning emphasises the importance of agile operations and flexible booking policies in the STR industry. Thank you International Hospitality Media Limited!
