I have been invited to talk at the VRMA European Government Relations Summit, taking place in Barcelona on March 8. The popularity of short-term rentals as a travel accommodation has grown enormously in the last few years. With that growth, policymakers across Europe have struggled to address some of the challenges that short-term rentals can present to local communities. Government advocacy continues to be critical to the success of the vacation rental industry, and it is essential for owners, operators, and hosts to become a part of that conversation.
