Bogus Listings, Bidding Wars, and the Airbnb vs. Hotel Showdown

On today’s episode of Good Morning Hospitality, Brandreth Canaley, Michael Goldin, and Wil Slickers unpack a trio of stories shaking up the short-term rental and hotel industries.

First, Booking.com is under scrutiny for hosting a flood of fraudulent STR listings. What does this mean for guest trust and platform accountability?

Then, we dig into a 4.5-year stock performance comparison between Airbnb, hotels, and OTAs—are perceptions aligned with reality?

Finally, we go inside the heated bidding war for Vacasa and explore what’s at stake for the buyers—and the industry at large.

Tune in for data, drama, and sharp takes.
