The vacation rental industry is finding itself at yet another turning point in its history. Online distribution channels have consolidated, with four major players taking the lead: Airbnb, Priceline-owned Booking.com, Expedia-owned HomeAway (and VRBO.com), and TripAdvisor. Phocuswright’s 2016 study “A Market Transformed: Private Accommodation in the U.S.” reported that “while property management websites held the advantage as recently as 2013 [just under 60 percent], online intermediaries will capture 63 percent of the online market in 2016, rising to 70 percent by 2018.”

Sounds like a great team that you guys have. The vacation rental market is booming. I recently took a trip to Monterey where the hotel prices are insane (pebble beach & spanish bay). We stayed in the 17 mile drive and by renting a house with our group of 6 we saved well over $1000 dollars. Also felt that our experience we had was better than the local hotels we have used in the past. Lol at all these "bot" people spamming "great post!" below. smh

That sounds great @golfncrypto by renting a home you saved a lot since they are nearly always much cheaper than hotels. Especially when traveling in groups. The sharing economy will keep growing, even on steemit now :)

So true. Sharing is caring :))))))) Thanks guys. Enjoy your day!

Thanks for the informative post! Maybe it'll be helpful in the future when I'll be able to afford to even take a vacation somewhere, lol.
