International travel to the U.S. is slowing—and the impact is starting to show in cities like New York, Orlando, and San Francisco. Arrivals from overseas dropped 12% in March 2025, with notable declines from Canada and the U.K. If your calendar is lighter than usual, it may not be about your property—it may be about where your guests are coming from. This video explores what’s changing and why some operators may need to adjust their strategy to attract more domestic travelers. #trumppresidency #trumpadministration #trumptariffs #inflation #usa #usatravel #shorts #trendingshorts

5 High-Impact AI Marketing Templates for Vacation Rentals That Take Almost No Time
With inflation rising and new tariffs kicking in, more Americans are opting to stay stateside. The shift to domestic travel is real—but it’s not all big wins for local vacation rentals. Why? Because tighter budgets don’t just change where people go, but how they book: guests are becoming more selective, more price-sensitive, and more likely to scale back on trip extras. This video breaks down the early signs of this shifting travel behavior—and what it means for property managers who depend on both local and long-haul guests. #trumpadministration #trumppresidency #trumptariffs #trump #propertymanagement #shorttermrentals #usa #usatravel #shorts
How Inflation and Tariffs Might Be Keeping Americans from Traveling Abroad
Canadian travel to the U.S. dropped over 23% in March 2025—and it’s not just about the exchange rate. Rising inflation, a weaker Canadian dollar, and Trump’s new U.S. tariffs are making cross-border trips more expensive and less appealing. Add growing discomfort at the border, and many Canadians are rethinking travel plans altogether. For markets like Florida, Arizona, and New York—where Canadian guests are key—this could mean fewer long stays and a softer calendar in 2025. #trumptariffs #canadian #trumpadministration #propertymanagement #usa #usatravel #shorttermrentals #shorts #inflation
US Travel from Canada Drops 23% Due to Tariffs and More
Airbnb’s new Off-Platform and Fee Transparency Policy goes live on May 10, 2025. But what does it actually mean for vacation rental managers, software-connected hosts, and tech providers? In this video, I break down the policy using Airbnb’s exact wording, with a focus on: ✅ What mandatory fees must now be shown upfront ✅ Which third-party tools are still allowed ✅ What “software-connected” hosts (using a PMS or channel manager) can and can’t do ✅ Why concierge apps, guest portals, aren’t all banned ✅ What’s probably NOT covered: upsells like grocery stocking or local services Plus, I share our take on how this move fits into Airbnb’s broader 2025 strategy—including the anticipated launch of its Host Marketplace. 📌 This is NOT a doomsday policy. But it’s a shift. Transparency, privacy, and platform control are now front and center.

How Short-Term Rentals Are Feeling the Squeeze from Trump’s Tariffs and Inflation
Trump’s new U.S. tariffs aren’t just raising the cost of imported goods—they may already be reshaping the short-term rental market. With appliances, furniture, and linens becoming more expensive, operators are seeing rising costs. But it doesn’t stop there. According to Yale’s Budget Lab, households may lose up to $3,800 in annual spending power. And that could mean shorter stays, lower booking values, or declining interest in premium properties. If your calendar feels off or your average booking value is slipping, tariffs might be playing a quiet but important role. #trumpadministration #tarrifs #ustravel #usa #shorttermrentals #propertymanagement #shorts #trending
