Break into the Private Accommodations Industry with a Leader in Short-Term Rental Management

The private accommodations’ industry, known as short-term rentals, has experienced impressive growth in recent years. At the end of 2021, the global vacation rental industry was valued at $74.64B and is predicted to increase to $107B+ by 2028, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 32.04%. This growth has been driven by the rise of online booking platforms such as Airbnb, Booking.com, and Vrbo, which have made it possible for property owners to rent out their homes and for travelers to find and book accommodations online. 

Since 2020, an increasing number of travelers have opted for private accommodations over hotels, a trend that the COVID-19 pandemic helped accelerate as travelers want personalized experiences and more privacy and space.

As the industry continues to grow, the demand for professional short-term rental management companies like iTrip® has increased, too. iTrip streamlines the rental process to give homeowners a hassle-free way to get more out of renting their properties. Our franchisees offer short-term rental owners a comprehensive suite of services, including marketing, booking, and full-service management of their properties.
