As the Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in a sharp decline for both the rapidly expanding urban short-term rental market and the prospects of a busy summer vacation rental season, how can players both large and small across alternative-accommodations best balance find resilience in this time? How can platforms best balance the needs of both guests and hosts, following more consistent policy enforcement?
Join Skift editors and research analysts, along with leaders in short-term rental ecosystem to discuss how the crisis has impacted the business landscape and how to prepare for the key challenges ahead.
Skift Research: U.S. Consumer Travel Post-PandemicRafat Ali
One of the biggest questions for the stalling travel industry when much of the world remains in crisis, while certain parts being to re-open, is: When will people start to travel again? Not to mention, how will they travel and where will they go? Tracking consumer sentiment is a primary way to understand these questions, keep track of shifting behaviors and attitudes as and when they are shaped, and then consider the pathways to both short-term and long-term recovery solutions.
Join Skift Research for this Travel’s Path Forward: Consumer Sentiment webinar as we discuss findings on how COVID-19 is impacting travel at the moment and what American consumers are thinking about for their future travel when the outbreak is finally behind them.
“Design is how it works.” Steve Jobs
That is what we have set out to do: to define how a modern travel experience should work. That is what we are going to honor with our inaugural Skift Design Awards, what we hope will become the most aspirational awards in the global travel industry and help elevate the role of transformational design experiences that enhance the traveler journey.
We believe the role of design cuts across every part of travel: the physical and digital touch points, the built environments, tech-enabled services, and experiential moments during and post travel.
So we have come up with a manifesto on how to understand design’s role in the travel industry: it will help the travel and allied companies understand the broader role of design and its application to the traveler experience, and its implications on business transformation and customer loyalty.
In today’s consumer-centric world where experiences, personal fulfilment, and transformative moments are revered as the ultimate currency, the role of design – in every sense of the word – has never been more important.

Free Report | Local Everywhere: Addressing the Global Translation ChallengeRafat Ali
As global travelers and travel content continues to migrate into the digital realm, consumers are increasingly researching, planning, and booking trips on the web and via mobile devices. At the same time, travel brands are investing heavily in content marketing to reach consumers. These two forces collide when travel brands enter new, foreign markets and struggle to offer content marketing in local languages.
The 2016 State of Travel deck draws from our daily coverage of the global travel industry, from our ongoing series of Skift Trends Reports, and also incorporates expert research from throughout the travel industry.

As airlines seek to reclaim profits and acquire new customers, they must face complex relationships with OTAs and metasearch engines. In this position paper, we consider how performance marketing, search-engine optimization, and renewed attention to content can drive direct-channel conversions — sparing airlines steep third-party commissions and fees while growing loyalty and market share among new and existing segments of their consumer base.
