EDITOR'S COMMENT
• It has been another active year for IPOs, SPACs and investments in companies in the short-term rental space, and Australian vacation rental management business Alloggio is the latest to join that list after going public via a AU$16.5 million IPO.
With the news that two more lodging unicorns are due to go public imminently - Vacasa [tomorrow] and Sonder [before the end of the year] - it highlights how far this industry has come in a relatively short time, and how investors see short-term rentals driving long-term travel trends as consumer preferences continue to shift during the Covid-19 era.
And trends is the word on everyone's lips as we kick off a bumper week of content with our annual, no-cost Trendsetters webinar tomorrow [Tuesday 7 December, 4pm GMT], in which we will reveal our 2022 industry predictions with Andrew Schulz [NoiseAware], Cindy Diffenderfer [Orion Haus] and Madison Rifkin [Mount].

The following day, peruse our predictions in full when the article goes live on shorttermrentalz.com. Check out our forecasts from last year here to see how we got on.
And stay tuned for an exclusive 2022 Shortyz Awards announcement on Tuesday's webinar!
