Inventory has seen a general upward trend across the top 10 supply nations since the post-COVID demand uptick, demonstrating the boost to the vacation industry.

This table shows the top 25 countries in terms of short-term rental property count - where does yours sit?

Across these top 25 countries there has been a 30% rise in short-term rentals since January 2021. Turkey leads the way with a 97% gain, whilst India, Poland, Canada and Colombia also exceeded 50% growth. Thailand is the only place where supply has shrunk.

All top nations are enjoying increased demand. Predictably, top supply nations such as the US attract the most booked nights. The exceptions are Australia and Canada, who break into the top 10 for demand, beating the larger supplies of Greece and Croatia.

Nations see gradual but continued ADR growth in the aftermath of the pandemic, with somewhat specific but repeated seasonal patterns.

ADR for 2bdr short-term rentals in Q1 has increased by 11% over 2021. In Croatia and the UK, owners and managers have increased their prices most, each recording a 28% increase over March 2021. Prices in Austria have fallen most (-8%).

There is a general trend of domestic guests accounting for a lower share of demand across top markets since the travel resurgence; something that many businesses have had to adapt to.

Note that guest origin can be very seasonal in some countries.  Particulary Croatia, Greece and Italy welcome much higher proportions of international guests during the summer months. Understanding traveler demographic data is always critical to travel organization performance and should not be overlooked!

The United States and Brazil capture by far and away the most domestic travel. On the contrary, Thailand, Austria, Indonesia and Turkey relied on over 80% international guests in Q1.

This table ranks the top 25 supply nations by proportion of professional inventory. Denmark, Germany, Austria, and particularly Croatia show the highest degree of professionalization as of Q1 this year. Whilst those supplies at the top of scale are over two thirds professional, Brazil and Argentina at the extreme are only around a quarter.
