Trust starts with verification.

Short-Term Rentals Asia (STRA)
Definition of Short-Term Rentals
Definition of Short-Term Rentals
Asia doesn’t have a single, connected view of short-term rentals.
The market is growing fast but remains fragmented across operators, platforms, and local associations, each representing parts of the category.
STRA exists to support alignment across that ecosystem.
We bring stakeholders together across Asia — grounded in how the sector is actually operated , supporting clearer visibility, shared understanding, and more consistent engagement across markets.
Build the table. Share the table. Asia-first

Definition of Short-Term Rentals
Short-term rentals are residential-style accommodation delivered on a commercial short-stay basis, supported by professional management and hospitality standards.
STR is not defined by any single platform or asset type. It is a distinct and growing accommodation category across Asia requiring regulatory clarity, operational standards, and market alignment.
