Like every company in the short-term rental industry, COVID-19 meant that 2020 was an unprecedented year for us. As one of the world’s largest property management platforms, we are at the epicenter of the fast-changing, innovative short-term rental industry, and together with users, experienced the far-reaching effects Coronavirus had on this ecosystem.
To address the trends and travel patterns that have emerged due to COVID-19, as well as the pain points property management companies are facing in light of the new normal, we launched a variety of new initiatives this year aimed at assisting property management companies to navigate the global pandemic, from technological advancements, platform flexibility and free resources.
A few examples include offering premium features for free to help ensure business stability, supporting extended stays of 28 days or more to help our users incorporate flexible inventory into existing portfolios, holding frequent virtual events with industry experts and thought leaders sharing advice and discussing industry predictions, and launching a COVID-19 Infocenter to help property management companies worldwide stay informed, mitigate impact and introduce technology into their business models that could supplement lean teams and help them navigate the new normal.
