Market volatility always finds its way to leisure and travel - and it's not the case where travelers stop taking trips, but it is the case where trends and habits change. Shortened booking windows and an increased comfort in planning a last minute trip spells opportunity for #shorttermrentalmanagers and Hosts to 1) make sure your RMS is dynamically adjusting (that doesn't mean just dropping!) rates in near term booking windows, and 2) don't underestimate the power of bookings 90d from today - those bookings give your owners the much needed comfort to know you have a winning strategy in this choppy-water market. Thank you Reuters for capturing these trends and my thoughts in your piece. Check it out for more on how travel habits are shifting: https://lnkd.in/gVCNqR55
