Get ready to DESTRUPT the wellness space through the tourism industry and beyond! We're inviting you to join us as we explore wellness not just as a buzzword, but the real, transformative power of prioritizing well-being — both personally and professionally. Stay tuned for more!
Tourism Activist. ?? I rewire DMOs and hospitality companies for the Age of Transformation.
?? Personal Update + Exciting News! ?? Over the past few months, I’ve been diving deep into something that’s reshaping how we travel and experience the world: wellness. Not just the buzzword, but the real, transformative power of prioritizing well-being—both personally and professionally. And guess what? I’ve begun my own wellness journey. (Spoiler: it’s a wild mix of eye-opening, humbling, and yes, sometimes a little messy.) But it’s also been incredibly inspiring, especially as I’ve seen how wellness is evolving in travel, tourism, and even short-term rentals. So here’s the scoop: I’m working on a brand-new whitepaper that dives into emerging wellness trends for 2025. This isn’t your average “add a yoga class and call it wellness” guide. We’re talking about circadian travel, biohacking getaways, and even how sleep tourism is quietly becoming a game-changer. The goal? To launch it just in time for the holidays so YOU can start 2025 ready to destrupt the wellness space with bold ideas and real results. Stay tuned, friends—because wellness isn’t just a trend; it’s the future. ??

Here's to great short-term rental education for all leaders in the tourism space and their communities! And to having fun while doing the work! ?? #destinationmanagement #shorttermrentals #education #vacationrentals #communitybuilding
Over the past few years, Rent Responsibly has been on a side mission to collaborate more with DMOs -- especially in traditional vacation destinations where short-term rentals are the primary source of occupancy tax dollars. ?? It's been mostly uphill but certainly hasn't been boring, thanks to?Jenn Barbee?(Destination Innovate),?John Flanagan?(Amplify by StaySense),?Anna Vaughn?(GovOS), Brian Bossuyt (Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau) and a few others. ?? Seeing coverage with the headline "The Surprising Positive Benefits of Short-Term Vacation Rentals" brings me joy. The piece highlights the immense benefits STRs bring to communities in Coachella Valley. ?? ?? Shout out to Davis Meyer, CDME of Visit Greater Palm Springs for elevating the STR community -- and thus the entire community. ?? ?? Shout out to Palm Springs Life Magazine for spilling some ink on the symbiotic relationship that Visit Greater Palm Springs has built with their STR operator community. ?? Excerpt: "Education also plays a vital role in finding that balance within communities. Visit Greater Palm Springs partners with Rent Responsibly, an education and community-building platform, to offer short-term rental operators training and resources — including a communication template to help them engage with guests — to professionalize and elevate the standard of vacation rental operations." https://lnkd.in/gqNNnWNV
