In this special episode of GMH EU, Leo, Wil, and Paul Stevens broadcast from the VRMA 2024 Conference in Phoenix. The team dives into key industry trends and discussions happening at the event, particularly focusing on the importance of addressing regulations within the short-term rental market. They emphasize the need for industry collaboration and proactive engagement with policymakers to ensure a sustainable future for short-term rentals. Paul highlights how this year’s conference is a crucial space for operators to unite on major issues like regulation while staying competitive.

Additionally, Wil shares his view that while hospitality technology has made significant strides, the systems are often overly complex, making it difficult for smaller operators to manage their businesses effectively. The conversation also touches on the recent name change from SuperHog to Truvi, representing a shift toward a more professional and trust-based identity. As hospitality continues evolving, the team agrees on the importance of maintaining a balance between technology advancements and delivering genuine hospitality experiences.
