EDITOR'S COMMENT
• Excitement and anticipation is building rapidly for the 2022 Shortyz Awards after the shortlists were unveiled in full this week, and you still have time to vote for your favourite companies / individuals to win by 23:59 BST on Friday 29 April.
Following the opening of our voting platform on Thursday, more than 2,500 readers of STRz have cast over 20,000 votes so far across the 20 shortlists, including in our four new categories [Consumer Champion, Best mobile rental accommodation company, Best subscription / membership model company, Best holiday site operator].
Each award winner will be decided by a 50:50 split between judge scores and a public vote so it promises to be an exciting night of announcements at May's awards ceremony.
We look forward to welcoming you to Skyline London on Wednesday 18 May for the first in-person Shortyz Awards since March 2020 and a night of recognition and celebration for the entire industry. Click here to book your tickets.
• In another busy week for short-term rental content, our RockSTRz webinars are back on the agenda this Tuesday 26 April [4pm BST] as we host a session on "What does brand loyalty mean in the short-term rental space?".
This conversation could not have come at a more pertinent time, particularly after Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky tweeted that one of the most popular suggestions among users for features to launch in 2022 was a guest loyalty program.
I'm thrilled to be joined by Parker Stanberry [Oasis], Amanda Moore [Homes & Villas by Marriott International], Viola Palescandolo [Black Platinum Gold] and Niki Christian Nutsch [Thirdhome] - don't miss out by signing up to tomorrow's no cost session here.
