Managing vacation rentals today requires more than just a great property and good reviews. As Lodgify's 2024 U.S. Vacation Rental Industry Report highlights, technology is transforming how properties are managed, marketed, and optimized. For property owners, embracing these tools is critical to staying ahead in a competitive market.
In this post, we’ll explore the insights from Lodgify’s report and show how RedAwning’s industry-leading technology and services make it the best partner for vacation rental success.
Technology Adoption in Vacation Rentals
Low AI Adoption but Rising Tech Reliance
The report reveals that only 32.3% of property managers adopted AI in 2024, showing room for growth. However, technologies like channel management systems, property management software, and website builders are widely regarded as essential tools for efficient management.
For vacation rental owners, these tools save time, streamline operations, and ensure a better guest experience.
Smart Locks and Mobile Apps Are Leading the Way
Over 60% of property managers use smart locks, while 86% rely on mobile apps to remotely manage bookings, check-ins, and guest communication. These technologies enhance security and improve guest satisfaction and operational efficiency.
Challenges with Choosing the Right Tools
