Summary
The global short-term vacation rental market continues to evolve as professional operators, accommodation owners, technology providers and hospitality brands respond to changing guest expectations and new opportunities across the sector.
Since the launch of Airbnb in 2008, the short-term rental landscape has developed into a global ecosystem encompassing property managers, booking platforms, technology providers, investors, service businesses and accommodation brands.
The continued growth and professionalisation of short-term rentals has encouraged the wider hotel and hospitality industry to adapt, while creating new opportunities for businesses providing technology, services and solutions to hosts, operators and guests.
The Shortyz brings industry leaders together to recognise individual and company excellence, celebrate innovation and best practice, reward achievement and help drive the sector forward.
