Skift Report Features Kigo in the State of the Global Vacation Rental Market 2017

Investors and travel consumers have given serious attention to the vacation rental market space in recent years. SaaS companies like Kigo were born due to the undercurrent of technological innovation that has taken root due to this market, and have weighed in on the current state-of-the-union in the space today via the latest Skift report.

Skift’s Research Take:  “Airbnb popularized a new type of rental product – i.e. the primary-residence urban rental, but now professionally managed properties are coming online with fury. Looking forward 10 years, the landscape will likely look quite different. Consolidation is in the air: vacation rentals have gone mainstream with the consumer but inventory remains fragmented. Property managers, marketplaces, SaaS platforms and a host of other add-on services are evolving their strategies to capture greater scale and efficiencies."
