Frequently asked
What is Stay Gazette?
Stay Gazette is an independent daily trade publication about the short-term-rental business: Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, the hosts, property managers, investors and regulators, in the United States and worldwide. It files three reported features a day, a column of briefs each morning, and a numbered Weekend Edition every Saturday.
Who publishes it and is it independent?
It is published by Trousdale Digital Technologies LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, and is editorially independent. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com or any platform, property manager or vendor, and it accepts no payment for coverage.
How does Stay Gazette make sure its stories are accurate?
Every reported story names its sources, and before publication a standards desk checks each specific in the draft, every number, date, dollar figure, quotation and named party, against the source material. Anything that cannot be traced is removed or marked as unverified background, and the story says so.
Are the pictures real photographs?
No. Every story is illustrated with an original drawing made at the paper's picture desk. Each drawing is reviewed and approved by the Illustrations Director against a shared picture-desk standard used across our titles before it runs; anything with stray text, a logo, a real face, AI 'sparkle' or other flaws is redrawn. Stay Gazette uses no third-party photography; no drawing depicts a real person, and no named property is drawn as though it were a photograph of that property.
What does Stay Gazette cover?
Nine beats: Crackdown (regulation and enforcement), Platforms (Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com and the software stack), The Money (rates, occupancy, taxes and financing), Host Life (operations), Design (the architecture and interiors of the stays themselves), Viral (the Icons, record listings and stays the internet shares), Markets (supply and demand by market), Exposed (scams, fraud and lawsuits), and World (rules and markets outside the US).
