"Beyond the Stay: Enhancing Guest Experiences on the Space Coast"
Join us for an engaging panel discussion featuring vacation rental homeowners and property managers (ie 'Airbnb hosts') as we explore guest expectations from booking to check-out. We’ll cover communication strategies, ways to create memorable stays, and the vital role local businesses play in enhancing the visitor experience. Together, we’ll discuss how collaboration between hosts and local businesses can ensure every guest leaves the Space Coast happy and excited to return. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how to connect with hosts and local businesses in the tourism sector.
