In our final episode of 2024, Leo Walton and Sarah Nan Dupre reflect on the year in short-term rentals, including promising developments like Barcelona's potential repeal of its STR ban and New York City reconsidering its strict regulations. They discuss Marriott's strategic move into the rural market with its Postcard Cabins acquisition and its long-term agreement with Trailborn, showcasing the rising demand for outdoor-centric accommodations.

Leo and Sarah also dive into hyperlocal management with Eric Breon's return to the industry via his new startup "Fairly," and debate its potential impact on property managers. Plus, a look at trends like Gen Z’s combined urban-rural trips and how they shape the future of travel.
