In the competitive landscape of Vacation Rentals (VRM) and Short Term Rentals (STR), property managers must embrace technology to control their own destiny.
Evan Dolgow – leading the predictive hospitality movement within Aidaptive – walks us through an understanding of STR & VRM technology in this video.
