RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif., August 1, 2024
Visit Greater Palm Springs, together with Rent Responsibly, is excited to announce a must-attend virtual meetup, Five-Star Season, designed to equip short-term rental owners, hosts, and managers in the Greater Palm Springs region for a successful season as we head into fall. This free lunch-and-learn event will take place on August 15 at 12:00 PM PT.
“Nearly 20% of overnight visitors to Greater Palm Springs stay in short-term rentals, supporting local small businesses, attractions, and restaurants,” said Davis Meyer, VP of Government & Industry Relations for Visit Greater Palm Springs. “By providing resources and education to our short-term rental hosts, we help them deliver better guest experiences and be better neighbors.”
Event Highlights:
- Travel Trends and Listing Tips: Learn from a guest speaker from Vrbo who will provide valuable insights into the latest travel trends and offer expert tips to optimize your property listings for maximum visibility and bookings.
- Local Tips from Visit Greater Palm Springs: Gain insider knowledge about the Greater Palm Springs area to enhance your guests’ experiences and attract more visitors.
- Guest Communication Tips with the SPRINKLE Method: Discover Rent Responsibly’s proprietary SPRINKLE Method, designed to help you communicate effectively with your guests, ensuring positive reviews and repeat bookings.
“As in every mature industry, robust education leads to better outcomes for all stakeholders,” said David Krauss, co-founder and CEO of Rent Responsibly. “I applaud Visit Greater Palm Springs for recognizing not only the opportunity to lead in providing education but also for recognizing that vacation rental operators are hungry for opportunities to learn, too.”
The Five-Star Season campaign also has a robust resource center where hosts can access dozens of guides to local regulatory requirements, hospitality best practices, ways to reach new traveler segments, and strategies for heading off potential guest or property issues.
