FOREWORD
I’m thrilled to introduce the Who’s Who of the Vacation Rental
World 2018! Now in its 3rd edition, I’m confident this is the most
comprehensive list of vacation rental technology services globally
and putting it together was a real labour of love.
I created the Vrtech Events to celebrate innovation in our industry
and the Who’s Who is a direct extension of the events: 230 of the
world’s most innovative companies in the vacation rental industry
are listed.
Thanks to Rentals United for sponsoring! Rentals United is a next
