We are the new home of "Smarthosts"

2024 is our year of consolidation on news and business.

Pre-Covid SmartHosts had a few thousand members and provided advertisers, owners and managers with regular industry updates. Since then SmartHosts had a lower number (still hundreds) of managers and owners who read the periodic newsletters. Thank you!

A New Home

SmartHosts has been in need of a new tech home and focus and has now become VR-Analysis using a much more productive platform.

Mega Businesses and local cottages

The Short Term Rental industry, Airbnb, Holiday Homes, Holiday Lets, Vacation Rentals, or whatever the term is used, continues to grow and finds itself polarised into the mega brands and the local cottage owners.

To do this collection of interested people justice, we have created and "vacation rental analysis", news platform, which cover a number of categories. From photography, to licensing, to M&A and financial analysis. Take your pick.

Some articles require free registration, but most are free to the browsing community.

Who are we?

The news site has two partners, whose staff produce the content for this platform.

• Yes.Consulting which works on growth and M&A in UK and Europe
• VRMX a complimentary platform to help buy and sell shirt term rental businesses.
