Condo-hotels and resort-style properties are getting squeezed from both sides.
They operate with hotel systems, staffing models, and commission structures. But traveler discovery has shifted. More guests start their search on Airbnb and Vrbo, owners expect visibility there, and off-site managers use lower fees to pull inventory away.
In our February First-of-the-Month bonus episode, we sit down with Emmanuel Lavoie, CEO of Jetstream, to unpack why this category struggles to fit cleanly into vacation rental channels, what it takes to support the shift without breaking operations, and how AI is changing guest communication and channel management.
We cover:
1️⃣ Why this category still struggles to fit cleanly into Airbnb and Vrbo
2️⃣ What’s behind the hesitation, even when demand is clear
3️⃣ Why one strong room-type listing can outperform dozens of identical unit listings
4️⃣ What full-service channel management includes beyond the integration
5️⃣ How AI is reshaping guest messaging and listing workflows
If you manage condo-hotel or resort-style inventory, this episode will help you see the gap clearly and bridge it without turning your team into a 24/7 help desk.
