Hostfully has launched an AI-powered itinerary planner, described as a “first-of-its-kind” feature in the digital guidebook industry.

This week, end-to-end property management platform Hostfully released its latest local recommendations report, and in this feature, co-founder David Jacoby and his team reveal its significance to the space to ShortTermRentalz.

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.

Hostfully announced Wednesday the launch of an artificial intelligence-powered communication tool that it said will cut down the time property managers use to address guest inquiries.

It's clear that vacation rental hosts and property managers crave direct bookings, and many may be making inroads. Still, the marketing power of big brands is tough to compete with.

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

Brian Chesky, the chief executive, acknowledged tensions with hosts but said the relationship had improved over the last year.

Startups and companies in this list are selected for exceptional performance in innovation, growth, societal impact and management.

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.
