EDITOR'S COMMENT
• Happy New Year to all our readers! This is typically the time of year when commentators are offering up their predictions and insights for the year ahead in the short-term rental and wider travel industries, and STRz is no different.
While 2022 was another turbulent year marked by geopolitical tensions, global economic and energy crises, and more political upheaval, the landscape for 2023 remains similarly uncertain. In our latest annual predictions feature, we explore the future of technology, the regulatory picture, sustainability and much more - read our in-depth article in full here.
For more insights, watch the recording of our trends webinar last month with Jessica Gillingham [Abode Worldwide], Matt Bendett [Peerspace] and Sam Symons [Lavanda].
• There is plenty to look forward to in 2023 from an events and content perspective too.
