Software-as-a-service [SaaS] startup Hostfully has published the sixth edition of its annual vacation rental industry trends report.

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

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

The COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic is a game-changer for the vacation rental industry.

End-to-end property management platform Hostfully has released its Annual Hospitality Report for 2019, which aims to address the growing challenges and competition in vacation rental hospitality in a series of key takeaways.

The short-term rental market has fared better than most segments of travel during the pandemic, although it has faced a different set of challenges.

Hostfully, a San Francisco-based startup that helps professional short-term rental property managers maximize distribution and guest experience, has raised $4 million in a seed funding round, bringing its total funding to date to $7 million.

While hotels certainly haven't shied away from voice tech, short-term vacation rentals appear to be innovating somewhat faster, pushing the envelope on everything from voice-activated smart-home integration to personalized guest recommendations.
