Have you ever heard of 'Set-Jetting'? 🤔 It's a travel trend in which people are inspired to visit destinations they've seen in movies and TV shows. The trend is on the rise, with James Cassidy stating at the #strzsummit yesterday that 36% of travellers said TV and films are more influential on their travel plans than last year (stat from Expedia Group's Unpack 25 Trend Report). So how can you make the most of this? Check our latest article from Ned on the 10 best destination marketing campaigns and how you can apply this to your own STR marketing: https://lnkd.in/erXtYTBB #vacationrentals #setjetting #shorttermaccommodation #destinationmarketing #airbnbhosting

There’s certainly some big newsworthy events going on today but one thing we had to remember remember (the 5th of November!) was the #strzsummit🔥🎆 A really standout event from ShortTermRentalz full of really thought provoking discussions, industry insights and genuine, practical advice. Everyone truly felt like they could freely share their thoughts, opinions and insights with their peers. A few key moments so far: 📈 Sally Henry giving us that all important industry data - guests will want more value for their money, that’s for sure! (See picture for key insights) 💰”The industry is ripe for disrupters” - Simon Lehmann lead the discussion on the investment landscape ✨”People are forgetting to mention the positive side of things” - a great takeaway from the over tourism vs under tourism discussion 👉 “We need to be a united voice” - great words from Fiona Campbell when it comes to navigating and future proofing your business within a more regulated STR industry 🤖 “AI is an enabler but not something that can take over. We cannot loose the human touch, the personalisation in the industry” (we couldn’t agree more!) 💸 “The ability to grow your supply is because of the team on the ground - relationships is important” - a great discussion with Simpson Travel and PriceLabs A massive thanks for having us and for hosting a truly insightful event ShortTermRentalz ✨ Guesty Host & Stay DC Advisory PSG Alistair Handyside MBE Eva Satkute Stewart, Harold Goodwin Henrik Kjellberg Mariek Anselme Alexander Limpert 🌴Mike Mears, SME VacayMyWay Cathrine K.

Our own experiences have certainly helped us understand what providing great guest experiences is meant to look like (and what it shouldn't look like!) 👻 Take a look at some of the horror stories some of the team have experienced as a guest 👇 💀 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What stories do you have? #happyhalloween #PropertyManagement #vacationrentals #propertymanagement #guestcommunication Tyann Marcink Hammond

A combination of lightbulb moments and laughing-so-hard-you-nearly-spit-out-your-drink moments (thank you Jodie Odlin and Julie George for your hilarious conference session!) - Australia and New Zealand Short Term Rental Association (ASTRA) has truly delivered 💡 The brilliant Hazel Parker and Kate Stinchcombe-Gillies were repping Touch Stay at the conference.

Oh yes, Touch Stay is (of course) still here and we couldn't agree more with this from Tyann! 🤩 Events are a huge part of our industry, right? But the question is, what do you get out of them? Like really get out of them? For us, it's those human connections. Being able to laugh, share and connect in person with our peers and customers, well, there's just nothing quite like it! We can't wait to see you at events such as Australia and New Zealand Short Term Rental Association (ASTRA), VTSTRA and DARM soon! #Vacationrentalsevents #hospitalitytech #GuestExperience #shorttermrentals #HospitalityInnovation

My experience at the VRMA International event in Phoenix: 1. The questions Touch Stay is still around? 🔥 Yes, absolutely! You weren’t hacked into pieces and dissolved? 💪 We’re too tough to be eaten. What’s next for Touch Stay? ⚡ You know I love to drop hints along with bombs, so here you go: 💥 The very first guidebook where your guests can now book again directly within your Touch Stay guide, no need to direct them back to your website We have features in development that will literally blow your mind. Touch Stay is not a minimum viable product. Oh, we’re robust, baby. In just a few weeks, we celebrate 10 years. We’re a product that goes deep, we’re expanding wider, and we’re unbelievably strong. We do what we say we do, plus a bunch more because we’re behind in telling you everything. 2. The laughter By the end we couldn’t stop laughing. It was the perfect beginning. There was a point of over-dramatic-nearly-singing, role play examples on using persuasive stories with your guests, with some improv comedy slipped in towards the end. Because if I had told you that you would be standing in the front performing stories with improv comedy by the end of the session, would you have stepped foot into the boot camp? I’m deeply proud of my boot camp participants for their participation in each storytelling activity as I gently moved them from stories at their seat to quick stories on stage to performing in character. Yep, they Conquered Storytelling. 3. The hugs There was not a single handshake all week, only hugs. Even those I met for the first time, there was a hug. Was it weird? Not at all. Because the introduction from a mutual friend made it feel as greeting another friend. Miles Chew wins the best hug award for the week. 4. The transparency Tuesday’s panel of leaders who’ve recently (in the last 6 months) bought or sold a company went deep into the emotions of selling, the mistakes made when buying too fast, and the crucial importance of culture match for teams. I asked my panel to be real and transparent, sharing the human side of passing and receiving the leadership baton in a merger or acquisition, and they delivered. Thank you Patryk, Vonda, Yair, Andy. 5. The passion You couldn’t take two steps without colliding with it. You were surrounded by passion for hospitality, for serving guests, and for helping lodging professionals to learn and grow. Look at who you met at the event: people who understand how much a 4 star review is a punch to your gut, people who struggle with the conversations with their homeowners on lower rates and occupancy due to the supply increases, people who love hospitality. Just. Like. You. Take this long post that’s turned into a bit of a soap box from me and go deeper with your community and your network. And at the next event, come find me for your Rock Star badge.

We've been testing an exciting new feature for our guidebooks and WOW what a reaction it's had! Our OwnerRez customers have been trying out the new widget that allows guests to book again in the guidebook and we were thrilled to see the words 'gamechanger' used quite a bit in the feedback! See how it looks with a video from our very own Tyann Marcink Hammond's property guidebook ⬇️ This is currently a test so stay tuned for more updates 👀 #vacationrentals #productupdate #softwareintegration #propertymanagement #guestcommunication
