   2026 Predictions: AI, Direct Bookings, Regulation and the Future of Short-Term Rentals

   In this episode of the Boostly Podcast, I’m joined by voices from across the industry to break down what’s coming next and what hosts and property managers need to prepare for now. Drawing on insights from operators, tech leaders, consultants, and founders, we cover the biggest shifts already happening beneath the surface, including: • AI moving from hype to table stakes • Direct bookings becoming a survival strategy, not a nice-to-have • Automation reshaping guest communication, marketing, and operations • Rising guest expectations and the return of high-touch experiences • Consolidation across software and management companies • Regulation, tourist taxes, and what they could mean for supply • Longer stays, digital nomads, and stronger shoulder seasons • Why revenue management and marketing are finally merging I also share my own prediction for 2026 and why I believe this is the year the industry fully crosses into a new operating model. If you’re a host or property manager who wants to stay profitable, future-proof your business, and reduce reliance on OTAs like Airbnb and Booking.com, this episode will help you see what’s coming before it hits. Listen now and decide which side of the change you want to be on.
