Travel like a Local Era: The Future of Vacation Rentals
Description:
Picture staying in a lakefront home, a beach cottage, or an urban apartment, experiencing travel like a true local. Short-term vacation rentals have changed the travel game, fostering connections between travelers & communities.

This panel of experts will explore the future of short-term rentals & share best practices on how travelers can get the most value from their stays to create meaningful memories.
