23•09•19 Welcome to the latest Short Term Rentalz weekly newsletter!
• This week, International Hospitality Media hosted Serviced Apartment Summit Middle East & Africa [SASMEA] in Dubai as business leaders from the short-term rental, hotel, co-working and supplier sectors gathered to reflect on the rapidly evolving UAE hospitality landscape.
The event, held at the Rove Dubai Marina Hotel and letswork co-working space, combined a number of sessions that were noteworthy from a short-term rental perspective, and networking opportunities, creating a wide-ranging agenda to cover the hospitality and real estate industry in the MEA region.
Some of the STR-specific highlights included a session focussed on "Short-term rentals: the end of 'alternative", a quick fire Q and A with Hadi Moussa, GM - MEA and Central Eastern Europe, Airbnb, and a 'deep dive' presentation into the local holiday home market by Ali Manzoor, Partner, Knight Frank MENA.
Speakers taking part in the conversation were GuestReady MD Reem Al Khatib, Airbnb's Moussa and Maison Privee co-founder Paul Mallee. Along with Mallee, the company's other co-founder, Rami Shamaa, sat down for a video interview with me at the event, and interviews with Al Khatib and Mahwussh Alam from OnePerfectStay will follow in next week's newsletter.
