Last week I had the opportunity to attend the Atlanta Vacation Home Expo in Atlanta. It was a great success to see the industry come together at a regional level and promote vacation rentals to the general public. As an industry, the vacation rental market has a tremendous amount to gain in establishing itself as a more formal industry and as a major force in the hospitality industry.
Unfortunataley, the vacation rental is still a specialty type of vacation and not something that is considered along side of hotel chains and resorts. This is a gap we can bridge with the newest vacation rental units, services, and amenities. It is critical for us to present ourselves and our industry in a new light and to join forces to promote ourselves to the hospitality consumer.
What I saw in Atlanta was exactly that. A joining of forces to promote the vacation rental industry. Kudos to Rick and Paul, the drivers behind the show, and to all those who cam from Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and other parts of the country to participate.
