Property automation system Operto Guest Technologies has announced a partnership with vacation and short-term rental software provider, Hostfully.

Airbnb's Preferred Software Partners program recognizes and rewards top property and channel management software partners helping professional Hosts improve their operations and provide quality experiences to guests.

David Jacoby, president of Hostfully, which helps professional short-term rental property managers maximize distribution and guest experience, is the latest to offer his insights on generative AI and its impact on the travel industry.

The pressures of the pandemic are driving more Airbnb hosts to lure users into booking their properties privately, further straining the already fraught relationship between the company and some of its larger hosts.

Vacation rental managers are seeking to offer services currently not enabled by their software.

In collaboration with All the Rooms, Home To Go and Beyond Pricing, Hostfully has released its 2020 Holiday Season market report.

After years of delay, guest sentiment pushed Airbnb into more transparent pricing. It’s great for the short-term rental sector, and many competitors large and small will have little choice but to follow.

There is a “new normal” for the sector this year as demand softens or over-supply takes hold in certain markets, but there is also a reset for the association in terms of unlikely allies and members.

Hostfully announces the launch of its groundbreaking AI-powered itinerary planner, a first-of-its-kind feature in the digital guidebook industry.

Celebrating the individuals and organizations that are shaping the future of the short-term rental industry.
