EDITOR'S COMMENT
• As we approach the end of the year, we're about to gaze into our crystal ball and reveal our top predictions for the short-term rental space over the next 12 months. 2023 has been a transformative period for the industry, in a year when we've seen a slowdown in investment, ongoing consolidation, a ramping up of regulatory measures, and a true AI / ChatGPT epiphany.
As organisations and booking platforms release their latest trends reports, don't miss our 2024 STRz predictions webinar tomorrow [4pm - 5pm GMT] as we unveil our annual forecasts with the insights of a panel of experts: Hector Hughes [Unplugged]; Jessica Gillingham [Abode Worldwide]; Neely Khan [I-PRAC]; Bram Gallagher [AirDNA]; and Robin Craigen [Moving Mountains]. Register for free at this link.
Later this week, we'll be publishing our article outlining our key 2024 predictions in full, covering everything from AI to wellness tourism, seasonality and M&A activity - stay tuned!
