The Future Of Travel Planning and Vacation Rentals

Rachel Alday launches a new season of The Hospitality Breakroom focused on the growing relationship between vacation rentals and travel planners, noting that while hotels have long partnered with advisors, vacation rental operators have struggled, partly due to GDS systems being designed for hotel room types. She explains how more travelers—especially mid to high-end—are using planners, increasing her interest in improving distribution and getting professionally managed vacation rentals in front of planner clients. Alday introduces herself as co-owner of Abode Luxury Rentals, operating for about 18 years in Park City, Jackson Hole, and Sun Valley with roughly 200 high-end properties, and shares that she started the podcast to share lessons learned. She also previews her October book, Please Do Disturb, about hospitality and leadership frameworks, and teases the next episode featuring Vanessa Chella, a top 100 FORA travel planner.Connect With Rachel:[email protected]://www.instagram.com/aldayrachel/https://www.linkedin.com/in/rachelalday/https://abodeluxuryrentals.com/
