Short Term Rentals Asia

Short-Term Rentals Asia (STRA)

Asia’s platform for professional short-term rentals.

STRA connects the people shaping short-term rentals across Asia — operators, investors, platforms, and partners working at scale.

This is a year-round platform built for clarity, trust, and responsible growth in a sector that is often misunderstood and under-represented.

The STRA Definition of Short-Term Rentals

STRA defines Short-Term Rentals as residential-style accommodation delivered on a commercial, short-stay basis with hospitality standards and professional management.

STR is not defined by any single platform, nor limited to villas.

It is an accommodation segment that requires regulatory clarity, operational standards, and regional alignment across Asia.
