- How businesses will need to leverage technology to survive
- How business models will continue to evolve
You can now register for today's unmissable webinar here.
RockSTRz continues on Tuesday 13 October with a discussion on "The rise of bespoke booking channels", before concluding on Tuesday 27 October with a webinar addressing "Around the world in 60 mins: What has the industry learned from the pandemic and what are the next steps for recovery?". Keep your eyes peeled to our ShortTermRentalz newsletters next week for confirmed speaker details.
• One company broadening out its offerings during this pandemic is Scandinavian Hospitality, which has launched its own luxury rental concept, combining luxury holiday rental villas with five-star hotel service.
The luxury segment saw something of a resurgence over the summer. As affluent travellers seek their own off-the-grid spaces with high-end amenities to stay in for flexible periods of time, this pent-up demand is likely to remain in 2021 due to the seclusion and privacy of such properties, the appetite for domestic travel during the upcoming winter season and their enhanced safety protocols, particularly if Covid-19 cases rise again.
