Some trends were never meant to stay. The Pet Rock, flip phones, AIM away messages, and everything being bedazzled all saw their moments of glory fade quickly. However, according to Top 6 Short-Term Rental Trends and Predictions for 2025 from Beyond Pricing, some STR trends are here to stay.
The leaders of new travel—Millennials and Gen Z travelers—prioritize authenticity and trust, for example. The survey indicates that nearly 90% would lose confidence in accommodations if listings are misrepresented, and over two-thirds would share such experiences on social media.
The Beyond Pricing survey identifies these six trends: |
- Embracing real-time demand data and automation
- Integration of technology and investment
- Demand for authentic experiences by younger travelers
- Preference for off-the-beaten-path destinations
- Focus on sustainability and community integration
- Enhanced guest expectations and property standards
|
These trends highlight the importance of hosting and property managers adapting by utilizing technology, maintaining transparency, and focusing on sustainability to meet evolving traveler preferences in 2025.
