Vacation rentals have been around for a long time, but the industry is constantly evolving, and new trends are emerging all the time.

Some of the most recent trends in vacation rentals include:

  1. Contactless check-in and check-out: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many vacation rental companies are implementing contactless check-in and check-out procedures to minimise person-to-person contact.
  2. Work-friendly rentals: As more people work remotely, vacation rentals that offer a dedicated workspace and fast internet connection are becoming increasingly popular.
  3. Unique accommodations: From treehouses to converted shipping containers, guests are seeking out unique and unusual accommodations that offer a one-of-a-kind experience.
  4. Sustainable travel: As more people become environmentally conscious, vacation rental companies are offering eco-friendly options, such as properties that run on solar power or have low-impact designs.
  5. Pet-friendly properties: More and more travellers are bringing their pets along on vacation, so vacation rental companies are offering pet-friendly accommodations that cater to furry friends.
  6. Local experiences: Holiday rental guests are increasingly seeking out local experiences, such as cooking classes or guided tours, to immerse themselves in the culture of their destination.
  7. Increased safety measures: In light of recent events, vacation rental companies are implementing enhanced safety measures, such as increased cleaning protocols and security features, to ensure the safety of their guests.

Overall, the vacation rental industry is becoming more diverse, flexible, and responsive to the changing needs and preferences of holiday house guests.
