• The news that Smart City Policy Group will host its inaugural regulations conference on 16 August will be news to the ears of rental professionals, property managers and city regulators alike as they look to address concerns affecting multiple cities in the United States.
With over a thousand US cities (including New York and New Orleans) having discussed or imposed restrictions, summits like this will be key to promoting responsible renting in local advocacy groups and highlighting the positive impacts of vacation rentals, according to NoiseAware's Michael Goldin. Though the regulatory environment may continue to see-saw, the conference will lead to greater collaboration between regulators and operators in crafting regulations that suit all parties and drive down illegal activities.

Meanwhile, Airbnb's launch of its marketing campaign, "That's Why We Airbnb", sends out a clear message that travellers should embrace concepts like individuality and tolerance, and that authentic travel experiences can help achieve that.
In the broader picture, it means Airbnb will drive millennials to its "Experiences" scheme, which provides immersive activities for guests to integrate into their community. In a fragmented market, it stands out from traditional models and appeals to aspiring travellers seeking unique experiences.
Its first two brand films showcase the stories of two Indian host families, which will allow Airbnb to grow in the Indian market and empower travellers to explore the world and learn essential life skills.
Robin Clifford, Airbnb territory manager for Northern Europe and serviced apartment lead for EMEA, will be participating in a snapchat conversation on 2 July at this year's Serviced Apartment Summit Europe at Park Plaza, Westminster Bridge, London. Event tickets remain on sale at this link.
