About the Vacation Rental Industry Associaton
VRIA is a Not-for-Profit trade association started by a group of owners and mangers who operates vacation rentals. Frustrated by the lack of information and resources for the industry we felt it was time to see if others would join with us to foster and grow the industry.
VRIA was the first Vacation Rental Association and its mission to provide information, tools and support for the vacation rental industry and to provide a place where owners can help everyone involved. We're a place for people to get together for cooperation and mutual benefit.
Industry associations are nothing new. But until VRIA there wasn't a single place where the industry could meet and talk and share. Surely, if every established industry accepts the necessity to cooperate for mutual gain then it was high time for vacation rental owners to organize.
Sometimes they are called by different names but vacation rentals, holiday-lets, cottage rentals or guest houses have been a trusted and preferred part of the lodging market in one form or another for centuries.
Originally formed as the Vacation Rental Owners Association (VROA), the group has expanded to include participants from every aspect of the industry including managers, website publishers and other suppliers.Today, Vacation Rentals are growing fast and with that comes opportunities and challenges. The best way, in fact the only way, to insure the industries future is to band together. So you are invited to join and participate and enjoy. We need your help. And if, at any time, you have questions please contact us first.
