Four Easy Steps to Integrate Airbnb with RemoteLock
The Must-Have for Every Vacation Rental Manager
As temps climb, you can bet summer travelers will continue to come your way. According to Bankrate, 63 percent of U.S. adults are likely to take a summer vacation this year. That’s up from 61 percent in 2022. For vacation rental owners, that’s welcome news. With calendars booked and business booming, efficient access control becomes vitally important. A cloud-based platform like RemoteLock has a host of benefits, not the least of which is providing guests convenient, contactless check-ins. What’s more, busy hosts benefit by streamlining their booking processes and even earning 13% more in revenue over those who don’t have this convenience.
