How to Competitively Price Your Vacation Rental
One of the most common questions a vacation rental manager has is what should my rates be. During this owner's meeting, we'll review a discuss the various factors that you should consider when setting rates for your Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket vacation rental.
Over the past couple seasons, there have been addition factors that have impacted owner's confidence in whether they should raise their rates or not.
This past season, during the coronavirus pandemic, there was high demand for vacation rentals which did allow owners to increase their rates and help offset their increase costs. However, this came on the heels of a season that had implemented a lodging tax for guests where owners were reticent to raise rates.
This is the third meeting of our virtual Vacation Rental Owner Series. Through this 4-part session, we will address the state of the vacation rental industry, the new standards and expectations during COVID-19, and a forecast for the 2021 season.
This session will cover the following topics:

Myth vs. Realities of SEA’s Wine Market
Myth vs. Realities of SEA’s Wine Market: Ongoing Uncertainties, Key Trends & Uncommon Opportunities for Buyers & Sellers
The Asian wine market is diverse and complicated. With the uncertainty of long-term Covid implications, ongoing uneven recoveries in Asia Pacific and the volatile Chinese wine import market, opportunities for producers and buyers appear more intricate than just five years ago. After an abysmal 2020 with intense declines, alcoholic beverage are expected to gain more than +2% in volume and more than +4% in retail value by the end of 2021 (IWSR Drinks Market). As China’s implementation of anti-dumping policy has just begun, it will take a while longer for its market influence to be reflected. Spirits started to outperform wine in the alcoholic beverage recovery in Asia, as China imports show a year-on-year increase of 11.7% already.
Despite these steep declines, Asia-Pacific still ranks high in the global wine market, with a value share of 26% and accounted for value and volume sales of US$81,948.9 million and 3,589.5 million liters, respectively, in 2020.
To untangle the intricacies in the market, the panel will discuss:
- Will economy brands do better than premium brands now as Covid-19 trapped US$111 billion of luxury spending in China alone?
- What are smart buyer decisions in this current economic climate?
- Has Covid increased consumer loyalty?
- With more vaccines available will the pre-Covid reality return?
- Does Working-from-Home mean same habits but different location?
- Will e-commerce growth slow down or return to pre-covid levels?
- What impact will Asia’s vineyards expansion have on the market development?
Enjoy a discussion between leading wine producers, Master of Wine and trade experts on the SEA markets shifts, pitfalls and novel strategies to bounce back with the emerging trends.
