Understanding and Managing Short Term Rentals
Summer travel plans are set. For many of us, that means discovering new trails, restaurants, and cultures—and staying in a short-term rental like an Airbnb or VRBO.
But these “vacation rentals” are doing more than just hosting travelers. In places like Summit County, Colorado, they account for nearly 90% of the overnight lodging market. They also make up 10% of all travel and tourism revenue in the U.S. That’s a massive economic impact—and a complex challenge for planners, policymakers, and destination managers.
Yet many communities feel lost when it comes to managing short-term rentals. Even harder? Having productive conversations with residents about their concerns—noise, traffic, safety, and more.
That’s why we created a new course:
